Welsh Crwth. by Michael J King, 2024

My most recent crwth, museum replica, carved from a solid block of maple, antique finished model with all gut strings from Northern renaissance instruments, Bradford UK, supplied with a  small baroque bow and a fixed arch bow.  
Plans are available from my website to build your own.
This instrument is complex one to build but even more of a challenge to play, luckily we have a small number of people who can play these well,

Some people use these in other tunings and play more like a Lira da braccia
