    They are the same instrument. The reason one is called a fiddle and another a violin is the style of music played on them. Fiddles are used in square dancing, country kind of music, while violins are used for classical music. It is just the way that they are chosen to be played.

I bought an electric guitar a long time ago and liked it but it really isn't my thing. I became decent at it but I'm going to sell it now and buy a violin.
