Default Why does this fiddle sound terrible in the mix?

Having an issue with a mix I'm trying to put together.

Here's a short example of a fiddle:

It's midi but decent enough midi that it sounds like a fiddle - you
can hear the resonance, the bow on the strings.


But here it is in a mix. I boosted the fiddle a bit so you can hear it
more clearly:

What happened? It sounds like a cat with a stomach ache more than a
fiddle. Takes on a weird wee-aww-wee-aww character. This seems to be
the only instrument that has this problem. What can I do to retain the
character of the fiddle sound when sitting in the mix? They're mp3's
but pretty high quality, what's here accurately represents what the
full .wav file sounds like.

Using Cakewalk Home Studio, the original midi sounds are Soundfonts
played through LiveSynth Pro and recorded as audio.

Thanks.
