One of the terms you`ll most likely stumble across is “fiddle”. Generally speaking, there is absolutely no difference between the terms violin and fiddle. Both terms refer to a four-stringed instrument plucked, strummed or played with a bow. They are also identical when it comes to their physical appearance but won`t be used to play the same type of music. The violin is mainly associated with classical music, symphonies, chamber music, and orchestras, and is generally considered one of the most romantic instruments ever made. The sounds delivered are deep, magical, and carry a certain sadness. On the other hand, the fiddle is usually associated with faster music genres, from country and folk to bluegrass, and Cajun. So, at the end of the day, it all depends on the way you play this instrument!
