Celtic fiddle
Gaelic string instrument
A Celtic fiddle is a violin played in the traditional music styles of Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and other Celtic regions.
The instrument itself is identical to a classical violin—the distinction lies in playing technique, ornamentation, and repertoire.
Celtic fiddling features distinctive bowing patterns, slides, and rolls that give the music its characteristic lively or haunting quality: She learned Celtic fiddle from her grandmother in County Clare.
