This was a sort of fiddle which was played on a single string by touching nodes as the string was bowed. The bridge had two feet, with the string passing over one and the other adjusted to vibrate on the soundboard, causing a sound with a quality much like a trumpet. The instrument typically had sympathetic strings, often made of brass. The result was a fiddle, of sorts, that sounded like a trumpet.
