      You’re right, but don’t forget about Glen Campbell. Another self-taught virtuoso. He couldn’t read or write a lick of music, but, like Roy, that man could flat-out play.

      Violins and fiddles are the same instrument but the playing style differs. Also, some fiddlers will file the piece that holds the strings up a bit flatter so that it’s easier to play multiple strings at the same time.
      Another definition is “A violin sings but a fiddle dances.”

    As a general rule, a violin is used for classical music and a fiddle is used for folk, country, and bluegrass. In the rock and jazz idioms, the terms are used more interchangeably. But however you play your violin or fiddle, you’re still dealing with the same four-string wooden instrument that dates back to sixteenth-century models from northern Italy.

    Learning instruments, like learning languages, is one of those things that gets easier to learn once you’ve conquered more of them, especially when they’re in the same general family. One of my friends can pick up just about any new instrument and play it within 20 minutes as he knows how music “works”, he can figure out how to make the notes he wants to make on the instrument due to his previous knowledge, and his hands and fingers are already exceedingly well trained. He can play over 60 at this point, horns, woodwinds, and all sorts of string instruments whether they’re actioned with a bow or fingers.
    And basically RE: the difference between the violin and the fiddle is the attitude. They’re different terms for the exact same object, there is no difference between them in size, number of strings, or tuning. The difference between fiddle and violin is that the violin has strings, and the fiddle has “strangs”: a violin becomes a fiddle when it’s played with rustic country soul, not highbrow music by a person wearing a tuxedo. When the violin is playing jazz, country, or bluegrass, it’s a fiddle. It’s all in the approach, attitude, and style.

    There are two differences between a violin and a fiddle. 1) the way it is tuned (I have a cousin that plays both, depending on the circumstance he just retunes the same instrument) and 2) the cost, you can get a used fiddle for 1/5 of what you can get a used violin.

The pitch is higher, and two (the top two if I remember right) of the strings are purposely slightly off key. Allowing for a much different sound, but also causing strings to break much faster.

    As they say in the other spots the only difference is how you play it. When I was younger there was a guy who came for the community concert series that played it both ways in his concert. If you want to see a classical musician that has fun watch Victor Borge.

    A fiddle is the same thing as a violin, it's just the type of music you play with it, if you play classical music with it, it's a violin, country, blue-grass and these types of music would call it a fiddle!
    "Yesterday when I was Young" is a great song by Roy Clark! I highly recommend it! Great reaction to his playing of all of these instruments.

    I saw Roy play shows as well as jam on several occasions and have seen him with many types of guitars including a resonator, banjo, violin, mandolin as well as singing. He told stories often during his shows, one of which was his first experience with a dulcimer although I never heard him play one.
    I began my musical learning on Double Bass, or the Bass Fiddle as it was known in Tennessee. I’m comfortable suggesting that any musician accomplished on violin and finger style guitar has already made themselves familiar with the fingerboard, pizzicato (finger plucking) and also bow technique that would allow them to play the bass in its principal ways. This is the same as any accomplished guitar player can play a bass or baritone guitar with relative ease by applying their knowledge of the guitar.
    I think Roy Clark played the bass fiddle a bit in a comedy sketch on his TV show “Hee Haw”, which might still hold the record for the longest running TV show in the USA. Either way though, I’m with you that Roy could have blown us away with a bass style fiddle, guitar, ukelele or other bottom register stringed instrument. Nice reaction, once again. 👍🏻

    If it had strings, Roy could play it. His technical prowess while pulling faces, doing comedy, makes what he was doing look easy, when it simply was not. His hand will blur in front of you while he was us playing. He was a big part of Hee Haw, and the only redeemable thing about that show, in my opinion. I loved watching Roy “a pickin’ and a grin’n” his dueling banjos is fantastic but he was also a very generous performer. He always left room for others to shine. I love his music and love people discovering his genius.

    You can learn to fiddle in about 6 months, it takes years to play classical onna violin 🎻 same instrument. My 17 yr old son plays guitar, violin and banjo and writes music on the piano may he one day be half as good as Roy was and he would be a star in his own right ✅

    Quick summary. The words fiddle and violin are two names for the same stringed instrument-fiddle is just an informal way of referring to the violin. In the context of classical music, it's typically called a violin. In a bluegrass band, it's more likely to be called a fiddle.Jul 27, 2021

    Roy Clark showed up on "The Muppet Show" Season 3 Ep 3, and played the bluegrass tune "Rocky Top" on Mandolin, Banjo, Guitar, and Fiddle, also badly on Trumpet for laughs. He also sang one verse, so the entire son was played. As other people have noted, the actual instrument "violin" and "fiddle" are the same instrument. The difference is how it's played. You usually won't see a violinist plying the fast sawing rapidly changing notes, along with the slight sliding notes you will see on a fiddle. Playing the violin is more exacting than the fiddle, but the fiddle requires more improvisation. I hope that helps.

    The fiddle style and name for the violin began in Irish folk music and was later carried to the Appalachian mountains by Celtic immigrants. The banjo also originated in Ireland as well, but was a 4 string without a resonator. The fifth g string was added in the Appalachian mountains by the hillbilly (Celtic immigrants such as Irish, Scott's and Welch).

    There's a liver performance of Hank Williams Jr. doing something kinda similar, but with different instruments. I could only find one upload of it, titled "Hank Williams Jr Double Eagle Tour Born to Boogie."
    He can also play instruments not shown in that performance, like the piano and banjo. There's a great old live performance of him playing the classic "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" on the banjo, back when he was a young clean cut blond.

    I was once at a function where a string quartet, in formal wear, was playing classical music in the background. I asked one of the violinists if she knew Turkey in the Straw. As if by magic, her violin turned into a fiddle as she started a perfect rendition of that piece. A couple of the other musicians joined in. For a few minutes, this posh event turned into an old-fashioned hoedown! That is the difference between a violin and a fiddle.

    Roy Clark in the Live at the Landmark concert "this is a violin. You thought it was a fiddle. It is just about to become one!" He had just played Under the Double Eagle on guitar, and Foggy Mountain Breakdown on banjo He was just about to play Orange Blossom Special on violin, er, I mean fiddle! They are the same instrument (and case), the difference is in how it's played. I love that concert! If you can find it, the bits between songs are hilarious! BTW, the Landmark Hotel and Casino no longer exists. It was imploded long ago. Only in Vegas!

    Roy Clark was an absolute master at many "stringed" instruments because fundamentally the difference between one stringed instrument and another is like the difference between Romance languages. Each is just a culturally and/or situationally different adaption.
    There's a recording of one of Roy Clark's live concert albums on RUclips that I've heard, and I can't find it again, where Roy explains (jokingly of course) why he doesn't play the piano, which is technically a harp (another stringed instrument) in a box.

    Roy Clark was a highly talented man and a great human being. My friend Sonny, who passed away a couple years ago, was a musician and entertainer in his younger years. When I knew him he was a maintenance man at a local tribal casino. When Roy Clark was headlining he had a problem with the tv in his room and Sonny went to fix it for him. As my friend tells it Roy Clark recognized him from years back, probably the 70's. My friend's band was playing in a hotel in the mountains and one of the members had been snowed out and unable to make it, as it turned out Roy was snowed in. At some point conversation was struck up with them and when he found out they didn't have their base guitar he said something along the lines of "uh hey I play that I could fill in"

    Also, if you want to hear full songs by Roy Clark listen to his album Roy Clark Live. Now Roy had a habit of working a bit till he liked it and then repeating it for all his shows. Before the internet each audience was new so they hadn't seen it. So on the album you will hear fully developed songs of things that you may have only seen/heard pieces of.
