fiddle/violin all the same depends on player. fiddlers use 4 fine tuners while violinists use only one on the e- string (generallt) left hand fiddle...never saw one saw left handed fiddlers playing same as regluar strung fiddles.
Same thing. Although you can get away with calling a viola a fiddle you'd be in trouble calling it a violin. Then there's the double bass, sometimes called the bass fiddle.
Difference between a violin and a fiddle. about 10000$.
Actually the difference is similar to the difference between an acoustic guitar and a classical guitar. Can have different strings but can also have the same. 90% of the difference is the way its played.
Usually big fiddle players need more expensive instruments to be able to have the action required for difficult fiddle pieces.
I like your vid clip and I've rated it as awesome. Please check out my video clip of some very rare 1934 tobacco cards of old and ethnic musical instruments.
Taloon64... Paul tells me he strings his fiddle EADG.
JonathansGurl91...Paul has left a voice mail with the name of this tune (and the other tune on the other video) they sound a bit French Canadian so I will check the spellings and be back to you.
From left to right, do your strings go (G D A E) or (E A D G)? I once heard of someone reversing their strings to accomplish this left-handed awesomeness. :D
Unless you want to emulate the lowest strings of a guitar for familiar fingering(?).
My violin book says there is no such thing as left handed violin, but that doesn't mean it couldn't be done (Would require a custom bridge at a minimum... the violin is internally assymetric with a bass reinforcement rib on one side & sound post on the other)
this is great!!

There is only one way to hold a violin and a violin bow. However, there is no wrong way to hold a fiddle or fiddle bow. hehe

Why a custom bridge? You just turn your bridge around to face the other way and then string it E, A, D, G. Done...

Oops, forgot the sound post and bassbar...little more effort and cost, but not that unheard of.

Splendid. Played with the style of a left-handed batsman. I'll join the three cheers for Ireland. Many thanks crabb 18.

Yes Paul is a south-paw.

Is the video flipped or is he playing left-handed? Pretty cool, if so, I've only known a couple of serious left-handed fiddlers.
