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,

Love the case.

Amazing. Thank the algorithm gods. I like the G-C-D sound of the open strings (like a C-major add-9 without the 3rd)

Bridge going into soundhole and I assume propped against the backboard is such a clever idea!
