    Crwth Is a name that could only come from Wales... brilliant instrument and showcase as always, it sounds almost like a Anglo-Concertina

    This channel is so well done it's criminal how few subs and views it has!
  • Reminds me of jouhikko/tagelharpa. But those instruments have their own unique sound and history ❤️ cheers from finland

    Amazing, I was just studying the history of European instruments so this is just perfect :D

    About to get my Crwth in February 2019 when its ready to come from the maker. I look forward to using it in our band, especially accompanying the singer when she performs traditional folk ballads.
  • Thanks for this video. I'm planning out making a copy of the same instrument, and this was a tremendous help!

    Another excellent video, now I know about another instrument I had no idea about, superb production values as always thanks.

    Awesomely cool! Thanks! Happy holidays! 🌞🎅🏻🎉
  • The bridge seems to have one foot connected to the back, and one to the top. Really interesting seeing a bridge that almost in a way, functions as it's own sound post.
