A fiddle is a violin is a fiddle. People tend to make more extreme adaptations on a fiddle because the styles of playing vary more.

If these were lying around in my house, the one from Rhode Island would have a chinrest and the other wouldn't because I'd brought the Strad copy with me from Ireland, bought the RI violin later and taken the chin rest off the first to put it on the second. It may have broken or the player might have just removed it - can't say for sure. In any case, chin rests are easy to take off & put on.

I have a copy of a Stainer that immigrated from Ireland, and it also has a coffin case complete with wallpapered interior, little iron hooks and wood worm holes. From what I've been told, violins as antiques are a dime a dozen and are worth more as a playable instruments. The top was cracked badly and it cost a bunch to get it fixed, but it's still worth more as an instrument than the repairs cost. (I figure the repairs cost $300 and the fiddle's worth about $750.)

As a player, I'd probably be more interested in the Nottage violin, but some of the Strad copies sound wonderful.
