   LOL. After reading the other posts, not sure I really want to weigh in on   
   this with a serious reply.   
      
   Only distinction I've ever heard of (and again there's no such thing as any   
   offical difference) has to do with the setup and style. A "fiddle" player   
   might prefer a flatter bridge setup to enable playing double stops or   
   triple stops which are more common in "fiddle" music than "violin" music.
