Great Big Sea & The Chieftains - Celtic Fiddle Fest

[ShantiAumShantiAum]

A violin you carry in a case, a fiddle you carry in a potato sack.

Obviously.

correction. If the tune of the instrument is light hearted and makes you want to dance, it's called a fiddle. Same instrument, different style of music. Best way to remember the difference is this:

A violin sings, a fiddle dances.

@ThatGirlInTheFadora Hey, I'd give ya credit.... 100% copyright.... I just thought it was awesome, as here in Nova Scotia the fiddlers only play Scotish stuff....

Actually.......... Fiddle does not have to be "light hearted and makes you want to dance" There are many different styles of fiddle from all over the world. One very good example of this would be one of my favorite fiddle solos that can be found at the end of Clint Black's song "State of Mind" The song doesnt really make you want to "dance" and is a slow piece, but it still is fiddle music.
