country fiddle
Barn dance instrument
A country fiddle is simply a violin played in the style of American country, folk, or old-time music.
The instrument is identical to a classical violin, but *fiddle* signals the repertoire and playing style—square dances, breakdowns, and barn dances rather than concertos.
He learned country fiddle from his grandfather in the Tennessee hills.
