@@banjoboy1337 you may know the banjo brought over from Africa made out of gourds. A strang is a strang ABCDEFG. Roots of southern music primarily Scot Irish Fiddlers and African Banjo. Hymns and spirituals roots of Rock N Roll. People have been banging rocks and sticks together singing in harmony for thousands of years and put the rock in the roll. Otis Taylor I think the name of the black banjo player put out Bringing back the Banjo I think the name was. Worth a listen.
According to "History of Western Music"...violin is what the instrument is called when music being played has virtue and fiddle is what it's called when music being played has vice. So yeah.... church and the tavern
Fiddle is simply the Anglosajón way of calling the violin. There is no major difference, they are the same instrument. If it is true that this term is used more in the traditional music of those countries, such as Scottish, Irish, or old time music.
Well obviously they don't know the difference but there is a subtle difference which I will now explain both the violin and the fiddle are the same instrument however they are totally set up differently meaning the distance between the string and the bridge the shape of the bridge the shape of the fingerboard the distance between the string and the nut and the strings are entirely different. I have made seven so I know a thin g or two. Not from a kit from scratch. It's much easier to convert a violin to a fiddle than it is to convert a fiddle into a violin you can't put wood back on an instrument that has been sanded or carved away that's why set up is everything.
The fiddle or violin are objects. They do not become something else when the are or are not being played. While they are being played they are identical. The difference is in the playing not the object. The fiddle and violin are just different names for the same thing.
The difference isn't the instrument: a fiddle is still a violin. The difference is the style of playing and the bridge. A regular violin is meant for Western Classical music, jazz, and some other cases, but a fiddle is meant for country and folk music where you have a lot more string crossing, more ornaments, some other articulation stuff. Because of that, a violin that's meant for fiddling has a slightly different bridge. Technically the same bridge but the difference is the curvature of the bridge, it's a tad smaller so playing multiple strings is easier. This isn't to say that you can't use a regular violin for fiddle-playing but the bridge isn't really made for it.
Most people say the playing style is the difference between a fiddle and violin but I'd also argue that there are more aspects. For example, I come from Finland and our fiddle music (atleast in the Central Ostrobothnia region) is very much based on the Swedish style of fiddling, which in of itself has alot of baroque ornaments. So some playing techniques may be completely identical to classical violinists but I think the main difference is that ornaments are improvised and personally embellished as the music is usually learned by ear rather than sheet music. So I'd say that fiddling is more about playing more freely and personally, as there is no exact right way to do things.
Old Time Fiddlers used to flatten the bridge. I happened to visit George Washington Carver's museum near Joplin Missouri, Fiddle country!. There was a "violin" there with samples of music Mr. Carver played. I noticed the fiddle had been refurbished, and mentioned that to teh docent. She was impressed, I was the only person to catch that. So she brought out the original pieces that had been replaced....and low and behold there was a flat bridge. Mr. Carver had acquired the instrument from his Uncle....who was a well known fiddler in the area! And western fiddlers put a Rattlesnake rattle in their fiddle....I have one in mine. I learned that from Cliff and old fiddler who taught me.
I just want to hear the whole version and I can't find it. I'm tormented I have a favorite song but I've only heard thirty seconds of it's awesomeness lol.
What's the fiddle / Violin pic -up called ? Maybe i can put in on my Fiddle / Violin or maybe Viola aswell . Check: Kentucky Snake Oil and Joint String Friends 😁 Keep on Fiddle'ing 🎻🎵🎶🎵😎😁
The difference is the bridge the strings rest on at the base. It's usually flatter and a little shorter when the instrument is used for fiddling. Mostly, it's the style of playing, though.
A violin and a fiddle are the same instrument, but they are played in different styles of music. The main difference between the two is the type of music performed on the instrument.
Why is it that a fiddler's instrument always has a large amount of rossin dust left on the surface? I personally like to keep my instrument dust-free. I'm genuinely curious.
The difference between a violin player and a fiddle player? With the fiddle player, it's like lightning. The fingers never strike twice in the same place.
A fiddle is a bowed instrument used in bluegrass/country music but generally it’s a violin. How you play it determines weather it’s a violin or fiddle mainly haha.

I had a music teacher that taught that a fiddle was just a violin you can spill beer on
More accurate would be spilling whiskey. A couple shots of whiskey turns a violin into a fiddle.
A couple shots of whiskey turns a violin into a fiddle. Simple answer.
LMAO
I heard that the fiddle has strangs and the violin has strings

The difference is a Violn sings, and a Fiddle dances.
betul
You full of shit
That's a really good analogy. 😮
Thats the best one ive heard
PERFECT description!
a fiddle is just a violin with ideas of freedom
haha!
Its actually in a quantum superposition in which you don't know actually what instrument it is until after the music starts playing
The only differences are the way they’re played, and the way the bridge is set up. Fiddles have flatter bridges so it’s easier to play double stops.
I think it's left to personal preference
@@brysondavis7619 totally personal preference
Definitely personal
Mine has a very different bridge than most others I've seen
A fiddle doesn't know a bridge from a rope.
A violin is carried in a case. A fiddle is carried in a gunny sack.
That's funny!😅
According to "History of Western Music"...violin is what the instrument is called when music being played has virtue and fiddle is what it's called when music being played has vice.
So yeah.... church and the tavern
Well now I have heard definite fiddling in Southern Gospel Music.
You full of shit
@@kathleenkirchoff9223but you won't hear it in a Baptist church
They played it like a damn fiddle.
DAMN THE FIDDLERS THEY GOT MY EYE
If your selling it. It’s a violin. If you’re buying it, it’s a fiddle. 🤣
Violin has strings and a fiddle has STRANGS
Yes
betul

@@dogg695yeah def copied from another video i saw the same comment
The soul of the person and the instrument bond... And it is named...
Radiator Springs vibes
If you play the violin in front of a town bonfire and everyone is dancing, its a fiddle
Way to go Phil. Make that baby talk!🎻
The way its played

Bromatose! I love it!
One difference is that you don't spill whiskey on yer violin

A fiddle is fun to listen to. 😂

I play fiddle in my bluegrass band and violin in the orchestra, but use the same instrument for both.
Ying and Yang. Fiddle is warm Violin in cold. Violin in kinda well behaved, fiddle is wild and untamed

Song name??
The difference is the bridge the strings rest on at the base. It's usually flatter and a little shorter when the instrument is used for fiddling. Mostly, it's the style of playing, though.
Yup but the only problem is finding a fiddling bridge without having to go to a luthier to custom make you one
About 5000,$
Always please to hear this🎉
Attitude
What's the name of this song
That’s a beautiful fiddle. What’s the make and model?
A violin and a fiddle are the same instrument, but they are played in different styles of music. The main difference between the two is the type of music performed on the instrument.
Sheeeesh
This sort of thing always makes me want to ask: Can you play the violin as well??
I'm beginning to think its the rosin left all over the violin...😂
Yeah das also true 😂
Soul
Both have soul if played well.
One has strings and the other has Strangs!-Fiddlin' Carson Peters
What was the last instrument shown?
Mandolin
One fills me with nostalgia for home and the other is a violin.
The way its played makes the difference.
Lit it up boys.
Same instrument, the difference is the technique with which it is played
Why is it that a fiddler's instrument always has a large amount of rossin dust left on the surface? I personally like to keep my instrument dust-free. I'm genuinely curious.
What camera is that???
I was always told if you play it sitting down it's a violin, and if you're standing it's a fiddle
It's the attitude how it's played
Where you're playing it
Difference Between Violin Sings Or Fiddle Dances

You can spill your beer on the fiddle
What’s the name of the song?
Fiddling is hitting two strings at once with the bow. That's it. So one can fiddle cellos too.
Strings on violin and strangs on the fiddle
Whats the name song?

A fiddle grew up in the south and a violin grew up in Europe
Stick shift, safety belts, bucket seats... all have to go
About 4grand
The only difference is the kind of music you play😊
One has strings and the other has strangs🤠
If you play it like you're from the mountains, it's a fiddle
The differenece between a fiddle performance and a violin performance? Nothing. Except the audience of one claps more after every song.
The difference is that bluegrass fiddle in just better
I violin has "strings" a fiddle has "strangs" 😂
I loved the part where he answered the question
Ones got strings. The other has straaangs
The only difference is you can't spill beer on a violin!

Violin have strings,fiddle have strangs😂
Like the king of the hill Connie blue moon shining. 🤣
The difference is genre. Also, Violin has a Better care and more Complicated maintenance
Not true
As a fiddler AND a violinist, they are the same instrument. Fiddlers just have a bad reputation about taking care of their instruments
@@Watermelon_cat-ro6qc yea, i know both is a similar instrument
Same thing, difference is how it's played
The fiddle is the one with the red neck
Yeah, after watching this I know what the difference is.
