    As a fiddler, a fiddle is just a violin that has had whiskey spilt on it. 😂

    Bro, I've had 5 million people ask me this and my answer is the same "fiddle isn't an instrument it's a playing style"

    The way I learned the difference is that "you can spill beer on a fiddle"

    My old church music director used to say the difference is you play fiddle on Saturday nights and violin on Sunday mornings
  • The fiddler i once met at the renfair told me the bridge is more shaved to make double stops and string changes easier, and handed it to me when i said i play violin. As a violinist, the fiddle and violin are not 100% the same, but 90% the same. Just having the bridge shaved changes everything you know, you have to move your bowing arm differently bc the strings are so much closer... it was a pretty tricky switch.
  • Actually, fiddle players will often file their bridges flatter than normal so they can hit multiple strings with less arm movement
  • The difference in a fiddle proper is how steep the slope on the bridge is, or rather how much flatter it is. Its meant to allow a fiddle player to have an easier time playing muldiole strings at once.

    As an Irish fiddle player all i can say is the difference between a fiddle and a violin is the tune the person is playing on the instrument.

    Maurice Lennon, a famous Irish fiddle player was asked the question once during an interview, about the difference between a violin and a fiddle. His response was that someone who keeps their instrument in a case, plays the violin. Someone who plays the fiddle, wraps their instrument in newspaper.
