one smells like wine, the other smells like whiskey and beer.

I love the explanation of the difference in the classical VS bluegrass strings. I didn’t know that.

Ya, it's not a hard fast rule but as a general rule, fiddlers prefer the louder more aggressive steel core strings.

I never realized the bridge could be a different radius than the fingerboard. Interesting. . Just subscribed. Thanks!

Very interesting! I recently started learning because I love fiddle music, but there are only classical violin lessons in my area (though my teacher has been good when I bring in folk pieces!). I'd love an in-depth breakdown about transitioning how you play between the two "styles" fiddle vs. violin.

@nickiemcnichols5397 8 ай бұрын

I agree. I think that any good instructor should know and play both styles, so they can teach both. The best way to learn fiddle in your area might be a meetup group of folk and bluegrass players. Musicians love helping beginners.

I didn't realize that bridges can be different for various styles of music.

Cool thanks! My question is how to pick the best shoulder rest and how to adjust it, specifically for a female who has narrow shoulders. 😊

When you sit on the roof of your house and play your instrument,it is fiddle!.If you play that in dance programme ad libitum with Tennessee bows, you are a fiddler.If the venue is an auditorium/ music hall,you are playing a violin!.
