Indiginus The Fiddle KONTAKT Library

A fiddle is a bowed string musical instrument, most often a violin. It is a colloquial term for the violin, used by players in all genres, including classical music. Although in many cases violins and fiddles are essentially synonymous, the style of the music played may determine specific construction differences between fiddles and classical violins.

For example, fiddles may optionally be set up with a bridge with a flatter arch to reduce the range of bow-arm motion needed for techniques such as the double shuffle, a form of bariolage involving rapid alternation between pairs of adjacent strings. Our goal with The Fiddle was to create an instrument that could rip through a Bluegrass solo, then moments later play a sweet melody or subtle background parts in real-time, with auto harmonies and without even changing any settings. We believe we’ve done that with The Fiddle. It’s time to rosin up your virtual bow!
