A Fiddle is a Violin on Steroids
Does anyone have the tab to Chet Atkins version of "The Old Rugged Cross"? Please email me a copy if you do. Thank you
I need to know how the fiddle is tuned.Is it the standard E,A,D,G,like the bass or guitar? Whats the difference between the fiddle and violin?Can I get any help besides taken lessons?
In truth, the only difference between a violin and fiddle is the spelling. Although, fiddle players will sand down the feet of the bridge to get it thinner so you get a louder, less muffled sound. Standard tuning on a fiddle is GDAE. Johnny Gimble is the best fiddle player I’ve seen.
The difference between a violin and a fiddle is proper english.
The word fiddle is a verb. A verb is an action word. Like running, talking, playing, You can fiddle with a clock or a computer… You can also fiddle around with a violin.
The word Violin is a noun. A noun is a thing. Like a guitar, or a rock, or a dollar.
Its not the strings. Its not the way you hold it, its not the way you learn or play.
Its only proper english.
The term fiddle came about from people who had no education and didnt know the difference.
However you should. They teach basic english in grade school.

I am keen to play the fiddle but as a complete novice have lot’s of silly questions. What is the difference between a violin and a fiddle? Can I teach myself? Should I buy one or can you rent? I love the Irish music anyone know of a good music book I can buy. Thanks

Hi Lindsey,
I am interested in playing as well. In fact, I just got home from the music store. Here’s what I learned. The fiddle and violin are the same, just a different style of learning. I am renting my violin for $18 a month (CAD) from Long & McQuade… they were very helpful.
the fiddle is tuned from top to bottom gdae
the difference between the fiddle and violin is this – in the old days the elite society used silver wound strings and usually played classical style – due to the expense of silver wound strings the working class used "catgut" which the only expense was the life of a cat (so to speak) – the instrument is identicle except for the strings at the time -one more note for the tuning, as you adjust your tuners, while you twist to tune up you should press in to secure the tuning pegs – i play a bass and am learning fiddle also -if you know anything about a bass or a six string guitar the tuning goes eadgbe for guitar and eadg for bass (with the exception of a 5string(beadg))
another consideration you should definately consider is tailpiece tuners – they are only about $2 each and are well worth it for fine tuning without having to readjust your peg tuners – if you know of any tabliture fiddle pages please let me know
The tuning is E, A, D, G (E being the thinnest string) and (G being the thickest etc..) There’s no difference between a fiddle and a violin, basically it’s just the music that’s different, if you play classical music, you are classed as playing a violin, if you play folk music, you are classed as a fiddle player and so on…
Without a doubt the fastest, easiest, most complete way to transcribe your arrangements into great tablature. Great program!
I need some tablature on the fiddle or violin. How do I get it?
Use mandolin tablature. Mandolins and violins have the same tuning. The only difference is that you pick one and bow the other.
