Thread Name: Ever played a Welsh Crwth?
Subject: RE: Ever played a Welsh Crwth?
We're planning to make an application to the Heritage Fund of the National Lottery to buy 8 pibgorn (hornpipes) and 2 crwth, train tutors and tour schools, community groups and festivals. If successful, there may be a chance we can bring them to the Smithsonian Festival in 2009, as Wales will be a featured nation.

If you want to buy a playable one, you probably won't get any change out of 900 UK pounds.

While we're on the subject of Welsh instruments, I don't know if I've posted the link to the make-your-own-pibgyrn before now. Maybe it should be a separate thread but ... here it is.
