"Little Wren" ("Dryw Bach"), traditional Welsh folk song
Performed by Emerald Rae

[CherokeeTwilight]

Owen is my 15th Great Grand Father, to hear and see an instrument played from an ancestor from so long ago is just priceless. A big thank you to Emerald Rae and the Museum

[wynmason]

Presumably, you mean Dolgellau (not Dolgelly)!!

[sketchandjam]

This format looks more comfortable that a standard violin, eliminates neck aches. Sounds great too.

[misstinwhistle]

A rather ominous sounding tune.. but beautiful!

[gracefulolivetree]

THIS IS SO COOL!! I literally found out about this less than five minutes ago! How have i not heard of these before?

[omograbi]

It's really enchanting, could you share the notation of this song please, I'd like to play it on my violin.

[misstinwhistle]

Wow, lovely. What do these cost? I know they are very uncommon.

[TrobairitzDelBosque]

Hi, could I use this audio as example in my podcast? I want to show de origins if folk music

[elimarfilho]

Owen Tudor? The nobleman of the 15th century?

[ThatLadyBird]

It sounds more like a cello than a fiddle...must be that drone string

[curvingfyre]

is that a curved bridge? I'm still fuzzy on the exact specifications of the bridge.

[MoritzMagicMusic]

Does anybody know the name of the one stringed instrument shown in the background at 0:23? On the upper left from the Nyckelharpa. I found this one in a thrift store and don't know what it's called. Now accidentally spotted it in this video! Hope someone knows what it is!

[entwistlefromthewho]

A crwth is supposed to have 4 fixed (open) strings, this one only has two. What gives?

[donwright]

I am from Dolgellau, coincidently this is where the first Quakers went to America from .

[TheBarcud]

Please, where can I find the music and lyrics to Dryw Bach?

[LDHProductionsTR]

I Subbed and will see whatcha got good on in time. Thanks and good luck to ya

[thewilloughbian]

[traditionalirishmusic]
