I know absolutely nothing about the violin, Do you play?
I have. It's the smallest instrument in the string family, played on the shoulder
is it as difficult to play as it appears? do you play any other instruments?
Yes it is. It takes many years to gain mastery. I'm a percussionist by trade
fascinating, i've always wondered what is the difference between a violin and a fiddle? are they the same?
They are the same. Fiddle is the informal name, usually used in a bluegrass or folk setting.
