Hi Adam, Here in the UK we can get rubber anti-slip shelf liner at Lakeland Plastics shops. Various tool shops will provide anti-slip mats to put on workbenches. These are pretty much the same material as far as I can see. It's absolutely perfect for keeping a lute in your lap.

I've been trying to practice out of the beginning of the baroque lute companion, and am having a bit if trouble keeping the lute in position on my lap. I tried the ribbon method, where I tie it to the peg box, wrap it around my back and sit on it. This keeps the neck in position, but the lute still wants to slip out forward away from my chest. Anyone have any ideas for where I could get a sheet of rubber to put in my lap? I'd really rather use that instead of leather if I can get away with it. Many thanks!
