Dear All: I currently use a crescent-shaped foam pad designed for classical guitarists. They use it on the left leg, in lieu of a footstool. The brand is "Dynarette" and I ordered it from an L.A. guitar shop. I put mine on my right leg and rest the bottom of the lute on it, elevating the lute about four inches. This eliminates the need to hunch over and allows me to sit upright with both feet on the floor. To stabilize the lute, I removed a section of foam about three inches in diameter from the top of the pad, then replaced the vinyl covering (which comes with a zipper - be careful when you remove it that you don't break the zipper). Cheers, Jim
