Hello Bob,

It looks like a version of the Crwth that Cripes posted a link to. Thank you for the "Bing" link too. It went to some very interesting sites.

Kind regards
Lionel

No worries Lionel, wouldn't be AULRO without a side track.

Hello John,

Yes - you are right about the harp being associated with Wales. Apparently the Welsh harp is different because it is triple stringed. I learnt that via the link that Cripes' posted up! Thanks Cripes. The link under "Harps" describes ... "the triple harp was popular, an instrument with three rows of strings as opposed to the conventional harp which has one row."

Kind regards
Lionel
