I can't believe There hasn't been one yet, so I wrote it!

Unfortunately I know nothing of it... It will prolly make it's way into a seperate entry if it is as... whatever as you said!

The fiddle is just a different way to use a violin Instead of classical pieces being played, it is folk stuff, normally to dance to Listen to some Steeleye Span, or The Old Blind Dogs (if you can find them to see what I mean Until later.....

Actually, fiddles are structurally different from violins, albeit slightly. There is, however, a certain kind of Norwegian fiddle that is quite different from a violin--it has extra resonant strings and that sort of thing. Anyway, I think "The Fiddle" would deserve its own entry, if only because there are so many different fiddling styles, and it might be a little silly to compact them all into one section of an entry on the violin. For the sake of clarity, maybe it's best to stick to classical/jazz violin for this one.

To the critique: great start, but as a violinist/fiddler, I'd go for some more technical details (like the parts of the instrument, what kind of wood it's made out of) as well as a little bit more about the history of the instrument, maybe including famous violin makers. I can provide the technical details for you if you like. I'll post something to the discussion section of the entry shortly and you can decide whether or not you want to use any of it, and incorporate it as you see fit.

i can probably find it, But I'll credit you if you post, Gag Halfrunt And Dr Funk sounds good, they're both doctors anyway!

I might be able to do a bit on the Mongolian Horse Fiddle.....
