I think non-musicians can tell a cello from a violin and a tuba from a trumpet.

Exactly. This is not a musician vs a non musician, but a musician vs a 5 years old.

[–] GlendatheGayWitch 2 points 2 months ago

I wish it was that way. I've seen a 20 year old get brass instruments mixed up. Many reference squidward when talking about clarinet, oboe, English horn, and bass clarinet. Unfortunately it isn't just musician vs a 5 year old.

I've had multiple people call my baritone saxophone a trumpet... It's funny and sad everytime

The amount of times people have called my trumpet a saxophone, or my trombone a saxophone, or my clarinet a saxophone, or my melodica a saxophone, or my saxophone a saxophone apauls me.

Never call someone a saxophone; not only is it rude, it's a slur and against the law.

Appalls. Unless I've missed a new slang word for getting into drag.

But can they tell a violin from a fiddle?

[–] Nomad 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They're only fiddles if you want to play in a band in Texas

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Or an Irish band. Or a maritime Canadian band. Or a folk band.

You are magnificent.

The difference is the bridge. Fiddle has a flatter bridge to make it easier to hit all four strings at once. Violin has a curved bridge to make it difficult to hit multiple strings at once.

It's all in how ya hold it!

Soundwise or visually? I can see the difference (big vs little) but I don't think I could reliably pick out the sound between the two.

[–] lunarul 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I was thinking visually. But even sound-wise I don't think most people would hear a cello and think that's a violin (even if they don't know it's a cello). But I've listened to a lot of Apocalyptica and 2Cellos, and I also grew up on cartoons that feature tubas frequently for comedic effect, so maybe I'm just biased.

I found this video and I really wouldn't be able to tell if it was just sound. I think I have like 2 categories I can reliably do for strings: bow or not.
