Fiddle Strings vs Violin strings

Question. Whats the difference between fiddle strings and violin strings?

There really is no difference. It's like calling a cougar a mountain lion. Same thing; just different names. It just has to do with the style in which you're playing.

Hey! yeah, the only diference is the style of playing, however if your realy serious... most fiddlers prefer a brighter sound rather than the more mellow. So steel strings or steel-gut. Also, you might look into getting a flatter bridge, since you'll prabably be playing alot of double stings, flat bridges are easyer than the rounded kind. but I dont have either, so dont stress-ou or any thing!lol.

i play fiddle!!!!

Yeah, we do LOTS of double strings, it makes everything sound SO much more pretty!!!!!

as far as i know, the strings are the same.

I've been wanting to learn fiddle for along time now. I love the sound, and its almost a crime to be a southern musician and not play fiddle. Plus, my mama wants to relearn violin.
