But can they tell a violin from a fiddle?

They're only fiddles if you want to play in a band in Texas

Or an Irish band. Or a maritime Canadian band. Or a folk band.

The difference is the bridge. Fiddle has a flatter bridge to make it easier to hit all four strings at once. Violin has a curved bridge to make it difficult to hit multiple strings at once.

It's all in how ya hold it!
