Talk:Crwth

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Electric crwth?

"One characteristic feature of the crwth is that one side of the bridge goes through a soundhole and rests on the back of the instrument (the bottom of the box that forms the resonant cavity)" This is that acoustic form of the Crwth, right? Do electric Crwths exist? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 144.139.87.246 (talk • contribs) , at 15:33, 6 November 2005.

I doubt it. Never heard of one anyway. Flapdragon 16:46, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Pronunciation

The article claims that 'crwth' rhymes with 'tooth', which in English can be pronounced two ways: /tuːθ/ or /tʊθ/ (from the article). In Welsh, according to this chart, only the first pronunciation (/kruːθ/) is correct. Can anyone confirm whether the second pronunciation is widespread in English? If not I'll change the wording; perhaps to say that the rhyme is with 'youth'. Gareth 19:56, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
