To hell with disapproval, I have a lap harp a bit too big to hold without
support. One harp maker has a product they nickname "the harp bra", a couple
of cloth cups and some velcro straps. At $25 I thought it too much, so I
went to K-Mart and got a nice red satin 32B bra for $2.95 (took my wife, so

Hi Chris,
sorry I put it equivocal. What I meant to say is that I go to a store
every three months or so and buy an especially non-skid, or non-slip,
cloth actually made for window cleaning. The fabric, however, is a kind
of rubber, not chamoix or another sort of leather. So, squeegee (Jon)

For CW, I think (as I'm sure you are aware) he means a squeegee.
As to the support, as I "don't play a real lute" I have found that the hard
rubber foam that I removed from my lady's "neck rest" (for travel, and
replaced with a softer foam) makes a perfect interface between my belly and
the back o

Mathias,
I'm not exactly sure what you're talking about.
Can you be more specific (perhaps we don't have this
sort of thing in the U.S.?). This could also have a
VERY different and highly disturbing meaning in
America!

This is true for the smaller lutes: With my tiny soprano lu
Every now and then I go and get myself a new rubber for window cleaning
as the old one has become to dry, dusty, and slippery. I put it between
my belly and the lute's belly so that we both have rest :)

I'm also a relative beginner, couldn't get on with a strap, and now, as
someone else has suggested, use a large piece of suede leather which I lay across
my lap on both thighs down to the knees. The leather also covers the lower
chest area, which stops it slipping there as well. This holds the l

There is no such thing as disapproval: if it works for you

Hello all,
I'm a relative newcomer to the world of luting and
this is my first venture into this absorbing forum.
My query is this;
I came to the lute, as I imagine most people do, from
the guitar and am loving it.
When playing the guitar I use a support known as an
'A' frame. It sticks on the side
