It's my understanding that the difference between a violin and a fiddle is the bridge. The bridge on a violin is flatter that the fingerboard. However, on a fiddle, the contour of the bridge is made to match the contour of the fingerboard.
At the top of the violin, attached to the very top of the neck, there is a stylish scroll. It is typically carved in a spiral shape; however, some scrolls may be carved into the shape of an animal's head. This is primarily decorative and won't affect the sound of the instrument.
