Fiddle
Fiddle Violin
Fiddle, any instrument from a widespread family of bowed lutes consisting of one or more strings stretched the full length of a fingerboard terminating in a soundbox. Fiddle is also the colloquial name given to instruments of the violin family. The timbre (distinctive tone) of a fiddle depends on the resonance of the soundbox, which depends on the frequency of the sound vibration. The lower the frequency (the lower the pitch of the note) the larger the soundbox needed to produce a full tone.
