Thread Name: Ever played a Welsh Crwth?
Subject: RE: Ever played a Welsh Crwth?
kat, the same company - Fflach - that issued Cass' CD has one on pipes - 'pibau'. I'm not sure if Ceri Rhys Matthews' newest has a pibgorn on it. Doesn't seem like it from the blurb. A number of groups use the pibgorn (and some the crwth) including Crasdant and Carreg Llafar.

We're also planning a conference for next year which will bring together Cass and aforementioned Mike O'Connor (Crowdercref) and one other (hopefully Breton). The idea is to have a day with people who have dug up old manuscripts, researched them, and republished them for a modern user-ship. Ought to be interesting.
