On the other hand, you can play violin music on a fiddle too, haha!

> The reason Appalachian Mountaineers traditionally call the violin a fiddle is that they're descendents of British Isles common folk.

I didn't know that. Interesting.

The only difference between a fiddle and a violin, is one doesn't care if they spill beer on a fiddle.
