I am currently making a limited number of Welsh Crwths based on the Heyward Crwth model, This is a most interesting difficult and challenging instrument to make and play. plans are available and will also be uploading pictures to my blog as time progresses:

Thanks Sean, That means a lot. I do find bowing difficult anyway(guitarist and ex-piper not a fiddler) Crwths are extra challenging and you cannot play non crwth music on them
Hi Michael ! You have this better in tune than Your Old 2007 Video ! This has a really Nice Sound and when You get going there at the End, it Reminds me of the Harding Fele Music of Sigbjorn Bernhof Osa, where He would play single note runs, followed by Chords.
WELL DONE Mr. KING !!!
what a lovely instrument ,splendid .
very unusual but what a lovely sound. never seen one played before.
Thanks for sharing!
Great work! I always look forward to your videos
A pointer on your pronunciation because it's actually important in this case; the Welsh 'w' is closer to the English short 'oo' (like foot) than the long 'oo' (like flute), which would be 'u' in Welsh.
Incorrect. "U" in Welsh is not pronounced "oo" at all, but is pronounced much more like "ee". The "oo" (as in "boot") sound is indeed the vowel "w". The sound you're thinking of (the "oo" like "foot") is not really in Welsh at all, though it is sort of made sometimes by the letter "y".
I feel like this is gonna blow up real soon
I would love to play this wonderful instrument
@EuphoricImpact Thanks, Maple is the main wood, spruce soundboards.
Wow the sound of the Welsh Crwth is very full. I was not expecting this. I wish I had time to learn another instrument. Michael you are amazingly talented. I hope many people make a home for your creation. Assuming they do not craft one with the plans you make available. What type of wood did you use?
@MrRandomWritings It can also be held like a cello between the legs, bear in mind I am not a Crwth or bowed instrument player as such, Wish I could play the violin, I struggle with the bowing..
This crwth sounds beautiful, but could you perhaps tell me if it is possible to play in every key with the right tuning? I'm looking for a bowed instrument that is able to play chords in any key so I can create an almost fantasy-soundtrack like orchestral-sound. Would this somehow be possible?
The Welsh crwth works with the drone in its own keys, I am not a player so I am not giving it its best demo here, but maybe a medieval fiddle, rebec, lira da Braccia have drone like sound and more flexibility, the unison strings on a crwth tie it to certain keys, though some people change it to a medieval fiddle in setting up. Early Viol might have that sound you are after, chords are often played.
@@michaeljking Thanks for your elaborate response Michael. Exploring the possibilities of the viol sounds like a good idea. Have a nice day!
@@OurMagicalNature you’re most welcome!
Where can you you buy this instrument?
ThunderTheWølf I do not keep these in stock but can build these to order
Michael J King ok!
@MrRandomWritings A savart fiddle(trapezoid violin) is a nice simple introduction to violin/fiddle making, I have a page on my website for those, email me if you need details or plans, I want to do a 5 string Savart fiddle sometime myself...
@jab4000 Thanks, you also can hear the great Crwth player Cass Meurig here: /watch?v=i4EzXOuiPnU&feature=related
For an example of both melodic and chordal playing using Bingley's reported tuning in octaves and fifths rather than octaves and seconds, see the segment from the 2011 West Coast Eisteddfod here on RUclips.
