just curious
Yes, a violin is a fiddle; a fiddle is a violin. There are no differentiating features period. The only true reason you'd call one instrument a violin and the other a fiddle is the approach...someone who plays fiddle tunes, a fiddler, will address their violin as a fiddle.
Sometimes, fiddlers will shave their bridge flat to ensure an easily attainable double-stop (two strings played at once)...SO, the set-up may be different on a fiddle...they're still one and the same instrument.
No...well the istrument yes. The fiddle usually has a stronger bow..to withstand the fiddling...:D I'm not really 100% sure. I play the cello. So i am guessing really. :/
I would bring up the fiddle commercial from Geico, not the right place. :)
yeah i said that....same instrument different bows.
ok thanx 4 clearing that up 4 me (=
