Fiddle or Violin? part 1

I’m often asked if the fiddle and violin are the same instrument. The answer is yes. The difference is the music you play.  And yes, I do play both. The next logical question is electric or acoustic. I have two antique acoustics and one Fender electric solid body. All have different voices and purposes. But I do employ a Barcus Berry pickup for the antiques. It’s one of the best on the market for several reasons: No damage to the finish, ease of use, non-permanent, and exceptional tone quality. More in Part 2, “Electric or Acoustic”. Fiddleplayer
