craigbjamesg1213eph221What's the difference between a fiddle and a violin ?Who cares - neither one's a guitarThey're the same thing, it depends what music is being played on it (violin - classical, fiddle - folk/traditional) Sometimes fiddles have a flatter bridge to better enable chords and drones for folk/bluegrass style music.As subtly pointed out above... A violin is a fiddle, but not necessarily the other way around. A cello is a fiddle. A viola is a fiddle. Jimmy Page's guitar became a fiddle. A fiddle is any stringed instrument that is used with a bow although musical genres have become a second definition almost (violin for classical and jazz, fiddle for bluegrass, country and folk).
