Damien, I'm sure other people will disagree with me, so I'll send this
to the cittern list! (also: the 'crwth' is a bowed instrument, not plucked)

This one came up on the other cittern list yesterday:

Does anybody have any suggestion what it may be?
Basic data:
Length: 71 cm (28 in.)
Scale:seems to be about 42 cm (16.5 in) but hard to tell
Does the Pictish traingular harp count?

It certainly does. I was trying to keep things simple by only focusing
on fretted instruments but on second though that may not have been a
good idea.

I'm getting a lot of good advice from this thread, including some
techniques that I couldn't remember...
Thanks

The crwth has one plucked string on the bass side
of the instrument. The rest are over a rather
flat bridge and are bowed. Here is a link to some pictures

Cass Meurig, who is in one of the pictures, wrote
a PhD dissertation on the instrument and has made a CD
