I suspect a Lute with a flat back rather that the usual bowl profile, although I could be wrong. Personally I've often thought about this mainly for personal reasons. These being the fact that as I'm in my early 50's I have developed a fine 'bowl' shaped stomach which doesn't help with playing

I am uncertain, but we now refer to flat back lutes as those that have a very shallow bowl, as compared to deeper backs. For instance, the lutes built by J.C. Hoffman were much deeper than half round, whereas the Italian archlutes were much more shallow. The differences in design give a
