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.
The violin is a stringed instrument played with a bow. It is the highest pitched member of the violin family, which also includes the viola, cello, and double bass. Noted for its singing tone, brilliance, and agility, the violin has a range of more than four octaves.
