No, I don't play the violin. I play the guitar some, but not well.
Mord Fiddle is the first character who appears in the Icelandic saga The Story of Burnt Njal (also known as Njals Saga), one of my favorite pieces of literature, and which begins, "There was a man named Mord whose surname was Fiddle . . ." (from the Dasent translation: http://www.gutenberg.org/files/17919/17919-h/17919-h.htm.

Come to think of it, "surname" is inaccurate, because Icelanders did not (and still do not) have surnames. The original word is "gígja," and it's really a nickname. And no, no dog, though I had one as a small boy. I, too, like the violin (and the fiddle as well ). I listened to Vilde Frang play in person just the other day.
