Fourth edition Scrabble dictionary, it's in there.   : )

 >>> Maybe not-- it's a specialty word for obsessive early music  
addicts. I've
only ever seen crwth in my life. But then, I never forgot it, either.  
One  of
those words like Prosopopeia, that are only known to people who live  
in a  very,
very small world.
Cheers,
Alice

Alice  >>> What you see there (lira calabresa)
bears an  apparent  familial esemblance to the rebec, with the
exception  of the bridge being  apparently not bowed, which means that
like a crwth, you end up playing drones  at the same time as you  play
fingered notes.

A crwth? Cool  scrabble  word!
