I don't know if somebody already posted about this, but it doesn't really matter. I loved Vassar and I will sorely miss him. What an awe inspiring muscician this man was... So sad. RIP

well, a fiddle is actually different than a violin, notably in the flatter bridge, which allows for easier double notes. Yeah, Vassar was great. He will be missed.

violin and fiddle are the same instrument the difference is strictly stylistic classical=violin celtic/folk influenced=fiddle
the words are interchangable though they denote slightly different things
while specific instruments may be more suitable for one style or the other there is no determining feature used to distinguish
a flatter bridge would make triple stops easier and double stops harder
m-w.com Main Entry: 1fid?dle Pronunciation: 'fi-d&l Function: noun Etymology: Middle English fidel, from (assumed) Old English fithele, probably from Medieval Latin vitula 1 : VIOLIN
vassers instrument was whatever he wanted to call it though i would call his style fiddle
trying to help stop the spread of dangerous misinformation about fiddles
