The cornstalk fiddle is a type of bowed string instrument native to North America. The instrument consists of a cornstalk , with slits cut into the shaft to allow one or more fibrous sections to separate from the main body and serve as strings. Pieces of wood or other material are wedged under the strings before they rejoin the body to serve as a nut and bridge. The fiddle can be bowed with a bow made from another cornstalk, made from a shoelace or other piece of string, or with a standard violin bow. The instrument is attested as far back as the American Civil War or further. ref Mary A.

Original from the University of California. Digitized Jan 5, 2009 ref Basic Assembly and Use of Instrument Each fiddle uses three sections of stalk, and each bow two. The fiddle contains two strings which are constructed by slitting the section between the two joints so that thin slivers can be raised from the stalk by means of two bridges. The bow used to play the fiddle only contains one string crafted the same way as the fiddle s strings. The tones or pitches of the instrument are produced by the way the musician drags the bow across the strings. Differences in the tension, width, and length of the strings enable the instrument to play two distinct tones. cite journal last1 welsch first1 roger year 1964 title the cornstalk fiddle journal the journal of american folklore volume 77 issue 305 pages ...

The Fella with the Fiddle is a Merrie Melodies cartoon short released in 1937, with a theme song written by Charlie Abbott. Plot summary J. Field Mouse tells his grandchildren the story of a mouse whose greed and dishonesty became his undoing. Feigning blindness and playing the fiddle, he collects enough money to live an opulent lifestyle. His home, marked by a shabby exterior, turns out to be a mansion where he lives it up with his riches. All the fiddler s luxury is in jeopardy when the tax assessor knocks on the door. The fiddler hurriedly presses a series of buttons to hide his opulence and make his home look like a hovel. He succeeds in confusing the tax assessor to the point that he flees in frustration, but an eavesdropping cat plays on the fiddler s greed and lures him into his jaws by placing a gold coin there. And that, says J. Field Mouse to his grandchildren, was the end of the greedy mouse. But one of his grandchildren notices a gold cat s? tooth hanging on display and realizes that things weren t quite what they seem.
