Traded his soul for a golden fiddle and the right to say he beat the devil in a fiddlin' contest. Pretty cheap, as souls go.
"Oh no, you beat me, whatever shall I do! Anyway, see you in a few decades. Enjoy your earthly possession while you can!"
Not these days
It's not reasonable to expect the fiddle to be solid gold, just like wooden violins aren't solid wood. So it would probably still cost less than a Stradivarius.
Besides, it's not so much a gift as a lifetime lease.
Yeah but...these days?
Well, it's no Klondike bar...
