There is a book that discusses Welsh early music
[1]Music in Welsh Culture Before 1650: A Study of the Principal Sources
by Sally Harper
I would love to know what is in it, but it's quite expensive and not in
the UC Berkeley Music Library, near me. I did see a couple of pages
including the index of it online when the book first came out. I seem
to remember Dd.2.11 being listed in the index. Has anyone checked for
our instruments in this book?

Well it was worth the effort - I thought it was very attractive and
a welcome opportunity to hear an English guittar.

Here's a youtube video of Rob Mackillop. You can actually see him
and the (battered but fine-sounding) instrument:

It's interesting that Scottish tunes survive in plucked instrument
sources (guittar, lute, mandore) but - and I may be wrong here! - no
Irish nor Welsh.
(Well Parry of Ruabon did publish some Airs for the
guittar/guitar/cittern thing).
