Although it is probably the second-shortest war in recorded history, there can be no doubt that its aftermath and outcome have had long-lasting effects. In fact, the decisive Israeli victory that ended the conflict still shapes the political landscape of the area in the 21st Century, more than half a century later.
The main thing that makes a fiddle a fiddle and a violin a violin is the type of music that is played on it. Generally, fiddles play folk/traditional genres (e.g. Cajun music, Irish trad, and klezmer), and violins play composition-based genres (e.g. Western classical music, Indian classical music, and jazz).
Due to the properties and desired sound, fiddlers often choose steel strings (which produce a brighter tone) for their instruments, versus gut or synthetic core strings (which produce a deeper tone). Fiddle is also a common term among musicians who play folk music on the violin. The fiddle is part of many traditional (folk) styles of music which are aural traditions, taught 'by ear' rather than via written music.
