in Welsh Cwrt, a kind of musical instrument formerly in use among the common people in Wales. It was a stringed instrument, and somewhat resembled a violin; was twelve inches in length, and an inch and a half in thickness. It had six strings, which were stretched over a flat bridge placed obliquely to the sides of the instrument, and was played on with a bow. The instrument is now disused. Sir John Hawkins mentions, that in his time there was but one person in the whole principality of North Wales who could play upon the creuth.
