When you buy it is a fiddle.. but when you sell it is a violin..

[caterthun]

The secret of the difference lies only in the name,

For a violin and a fiddle are exactly one and same.

You can dissect, poke and prod, or analyse and display them,

But the only difference you'll ever find is in the minds of folk that play them.

hmmm, since the question is not yet answered here, the only thing physically would be the bridge, which can be a little more flat, so one can change strings quicker.

i don't know if it needs a beer once in a while... mine is no heavy drinker, and it's a violin - see the connection?
