Description: An account of the historical roots and development of the Welsh bowed lyre.
As far as I have one, the crwth is my main instrument as it has been now for more than 20 years. The word is, of course, Welsh - the W being pronounced as the vowel (crooth / or cruth) and relates in some way to the Old English names crowd and cruit; both of which are associated with this type of instrument: namely the bowed lyre which is for all intents and purposes identical to instruments such as the one illustrated below from an Egyptian tomb painting circa 1900 BC.
