@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..
@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...
That does sound amazing! That and the Lyre remind me of potato chips for some reason. Oh, hyperbolic shapes like potato chips are supposed to make really nice bell sounds, if they were made of metal!
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?
Great work! I always look forward to your videos

Interesting instrument with a good sound - looks very uncomfortable to hold though!
