| | A common colloquial name for the violin is the fiddle, and a violin is typically called a fiddle when used to play traditional music. | | | Most musicians agree that the technical difference between a violin and a fiddle is the bridge. | | | One very slight difference between "fiddles" and ordinary violins may be seen in American (e.g., bluegrass and old-time music) fiddling: in these styles, the bridge is often shaved down so that it is less curved. |
