I am not a fiddler, but I've played tunes with scores of fiddlers...in old time I've heard tell that the bridge is flatter than those used to play classical music...the flatter bridge makes it easier to get the droning double stops that are so common in old time fiddle music...not that you can't do a double stop in classic style...just that the flatter bridge makes it easier to do
nice tune. is there a difference when buying an instrument such as ''fiddle'' or ''violin''? in size or style or is it just the technique that makes it sound the way it does..sort of different from the classical timbre or other styles? thank you!
No there is no difference. It all depends on the sound you want. And the style that you play makes a difference too. I play the Irish Fiddle, but if I change my style to classical it makes my fiddle sound completly different :) I hope this helps!
