    Musicians and fans of American Roots, Folk, Bluegrass and Country music understand how important a fiddle (violin) is to the music. The violin (fiddle) as we know it today is said to have its origins from across the globe. Areas such as India, Oriental Arabia, and Italy, all unknowingly helped create this wonderful instrument. Today the violin is used across the world as a tool to carry across the stories of their ancestors.

    
The term "Devil's Box" refers to the violin as a tool of the devil. The music brought forth from the instrument was and in some cases, still is considered sinful by many cultures throughout the world.
The Fiddle Consists of 2 main ingredients. Wood and Glue, but the most essential ingredient in a fiddle is the artist. The most Famous Violin Maker Was Antonius Stradivari. Although his violins are sought after by, perhaps all violinists and fiddle players alike, none are available. In addition to Antonius Stradivari, many other the European violin makers gained respect among their peers and players with their works of art. A couple of other "brands" of violins built in Europe are the Amati and the Guarnerius. These violin makers became popular among many American violinists and fiddlers. These violins are rare but many are still not accounted for and many are copies from these great makers.

      The looks of a violin or fiddle are important to many people, yet the most important variables in purchasing a fiddle is its tonal quality and playability. When searching for starter fiddle, many seasoned fiddlers would not recommend buying a new instrument. Instead, try to find one that has some years on it and sounds good. A rule of thumb on purchasing a new violin is "the cheaper it is, the less it will be worth tonally." I personally try to find fiddles at estate auctions. They usually sell for little money, such as 30 to 100 US dollars, depending how many collectors are there. Another method of obtaining a good violin is searching online auction sites such as ebay.com or other online auction sites. A little hint: While searching online auction sites, try incorrect spellings of the item you are looking for.
