The fiddle is a bowed string instrument that is essentially the same as a violin but is played in folk music traditions from Europe and North America. While the violin has gut strings, the fiddle has steel strings that produce a brighter tone, making it more suitable for folk styles. The fiddle, like the violin, is made of wood with the exception of its steel strings. Some famous fiddlers who play folk styles include Charlie Daniels, Mark O'Connor, Craig Duncan, and Jay Ungar.
