The fiddle is the same MusicalInstrument? as the VioLin?. Essentially, "fiddle" is used to described a violin when the violin is played in a FolkMusic? (i.e., TraditionalMusic?) or sometimes a JaZz? style. One very slight difference between fiddle and violin occurs in American (e.g., BlueGrass? and OldTime? music) fiddling: the ViolinBridge? is shaved down so that it is essentially flat. This makes it easier to play DoubleStops. |
