Fiddle and violin
though the bowss used differ. The term "fiddle" is used to describe a violin when played in folk music or sometimes Jazz. One slight difference between fiddle and violin occurs in American (e.g., bluegrass and American old-time music) fiddling: the bridge is shaved down so that it is essentially flat. This makes it easier to play double stops.

Dulcimer
lay it flat on the lap and pluck or strum the strings with one hand, while fretting with the other. In practice, a wide variety of playing styles are used. When four strings are used, the first 2 strings are placed close together and tuned the same. This can be used to emphasize the melody, while the other two strings are used as drone strings. The frets of the Appalachian dulcimer are arranged in a diatonic scale. It is widely used in the American Bluegrass music tradition. This instrument first appeared in the early 1800s in the southern Appalachian Mountains, and is thus also called a mountain dulcimer.

Jerry Douglas
as the Jimi Hendrix and the Charlie Parker of acoustic music. The New York Times has called him "dobro's matchless contemporary master." He has won five Grammy Awards, several Grammy Acknowledgments, and countless specialized awards. Though he got his start in bluegrass, he has made an impact in fields ranging from rock'n'roll to jazz, from blues to Celtic, from mainstream country to contemporary classical.

The Eagles
The Eagles. For other uses of the word, see Eagle (disambiguation). The Eagles are an American rock music group that originally got together in Los Angeles, California in the early 1970s. Their early music was a hybrid of country and bluegrass instrumentation grafted onto the harmonies of California surfer rock, producing tender ballads and soft top-down country-flavored pop-rock about relationships, cars, and the wandering life. The originators of this genre were gifted singer/songwriters, among them Jackson Browne, J. D. Souther, and Warren Zevon. The Eagles took the singer-songwriter ethos to a group setting with increased emphasis on arrangements and musicianship, and the group's early sound became synonymous with the southern California country rock. On later albums the band dispensed with bluegrass instrumentation and gravitated to a more straight-ahead rock sound. Not

Double bass
of the violin family of string instruments, which includes the violin, viola, and cello. It resembles the other members of the family, but is much larger and has slight differences in shape. Other names for the instrument (especially when used in folk, bluegrass, and jazz music) include string bass, acoustic bass, bass violin, doghouse bass, dog-house, bull fiddle, contrabass, and upright bass. A person who plays this instrument is called a double-bassist or contrabassist. The double bass, unlike the rest of the violin family, is derived from the viol family of instruments, in particular the Violone, a bass viol. Because of this, and also to avoid too long fingerstretch, it is tuned in fourths whereas the violin, viola and cello are tuned in fifths. Other differences with the violin, viola and

Appalachia
strip Dogpatch. The Dukes of Hazzard and The Beverly Hillbillies were caricature television programs. The movies, Coal Miner's Daughter and The Incredible Journey of Doctor Meg Laurel give a more sensitive and accurate portrayal of life in Appalachia. The Waltons, a long running family TV serial, was sited in western Virginia. Bluegrass music is a cultural contribution of the region to the world.
