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.
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 am a fiddler. When i hear a good fiddler of Irish or French Canadian music, i can almost always say who is playing. Tommy Peoples, Sean Kane, Frankie Gavin. The same reel played in their own style. Is it the same in classical violin? Great violonist are they recognizable by the way they play?
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!.
The diff. Is how the guys dressed on stage. If the band comes out in tails and ties or walks out barefoot, old T-shirt and overalls chewing some grass stem.

one smells like wine, the other smells like whiskey and beer.
Mine had better not ever smell like alcohol. 🤮
@@nickiemcnichols5397you sound like fun.
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!
Sweeeeeet.
Good question 🤔
Excellent video! Thank you so much.
Glad you liked it!
Fantastic explanation, thank you. I love your content 👍
Sweet.
Very Interesting! Nicco

Thank you for the tip! I never thought of that ☺️
I have two Kennedy electric violins. They arr my 2 favorites❤
Thanks much for the comparison, but which one is better overall?
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. 😊
How do I set my four tuners on mu violin? To start
I'm not sure I understand your question. Perhaps this vid will help? th-cam.com/video/0d1_d4QXpu0/w-d-xo.html

Yup. A person's personality always comes through in their playing and since personalities are unique, no two players are alike! 😉
@@KennedyViolins Thank you Mr. Kennedy. That's what i thought. It's amazing.
@@Jean88Lem Glad to help!
Always informative! 😂
I try my best!
Fiddlers do not need a 1 million dollar instrument and 100k bow to sound good ;-)
It's the same instrument, if it's crap at one thing will be crap at the other.
the difference is simple - it's the kind of music you play with it .
A Violin sings..a Fiddle dances!
Haha. Perhaps! 🤔
I understood a little bit more. But I think It might be interesting a sound test to difference
I didn't realize that bridges can be different for various styles of music.
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!.
LOL. Ya, probably.
I don’t understand. If there are 177 views, how can there be 1,000 likes?
There are 177 likes but if you know of a way to get a thousand, please let me know. It'll help!
The diff. Is how the guys dressed on stage.
If the band comes out in tails and ties or walks out barefoot, old T-shirt and overalls chewing some grass stem.
🤣
It's a violin and I'm a fiddler!
yup. Now you know!!
Easiest way to explain the difference, Tax Bracket 😂😂😂😂
LOL. 😝
Leave your bias elsewhere, you assume all country people are poor…. Says a lot about your ignorance, not them.
Style
Lol
No lolol
