The fiddle is a
violin played as a
folk instrument. It
is also a colloquial
term for the
instrument used by
players in all
genres, including
classical music.
Fiddle playing, or
fiddling, is a style
of music.
A violin is
sometimes informally
called a fiddle,
regardless of the
kind of music being
played with it. The
words "violin" and
"fiddle" come from
the same Latin root,
but "violin" came
through the romance
languages and
"fiddle" through
the Germanic languages.
Historically, the
word fiddle also
referred to a
predecessor of
today's violin. Like
the violin, it
tended to have 4
strings, but came in
a variety of shapes
and sizes.
One very slight
difference between
"fiddles" and
ordinary violins may
be seen in American
bluegrass and old
time fiddling: in
these styles, the
top of the bridge
may be cut so that
it is very slightly
less curved. This
reduces the range of
right-arm motion
required for the
rapid
string-crossings
found in some
styles, and is said
to make it easier to
play double stops
and shuffles , or to
make triple stops
possible, allowing
one to play chords.
Most classical
violinists prefer a
more rounded curve
to the top of the
bridge that allows
them to articulate
each note more
easily and clearly.
In practice, most
instruments are
fitted with a
rounded bridge to
better accommodate
the shape of the
fingerboard. The
difference between
"round" and "flat"
is not great; about
a quarter or half a
millimeter variation
in the height of one
or two strings. A
fiddle strung with
steel will work best
with a bridge as
much as a millimeter
lower overall. For
gut, nylon or other
synthetic-core
strings, the action
may be set suitably
higher. As a
violin's bridge is
relatively easy to
replace, modifying
the bridge does not
permanently make a
violin into a
fiddle.
In construction,
fiddles and violins
are exactly the
same. As might be
expected from the
differences between
classical and folk
music, violinists
tend to be formally
trained and fiddlers
tend to be
informally trained,
although crossing
over is not
uncommon. From
