  • What Size Violin do I Need


Please measure your arm from the middle of the left shoulder (where the neck meets the shoulder) to the center of the left palm with the arm stretched straight out in front. This measurement will tell you what size violin you need. We have provided a chart of measurements below for your comparison. It is better to get a violin that is a little smaller rather than too big. If it is too big, it is hard to handle and can discourage practice/play.

1/32: 13.5" to 14" (1-3 yr old)
1/16: 14" to 15.5" (3-5 yr old)
1/10: 15.5" to 17" (3-5 yr old)
1/8: 17.1" to 17.5" (3-5 yr old)
1/4: 17.6" to 20" (4-7 yr old)
1/2: 20.1" to 22" (6-10 yr old)
3/4: 22" to 23.5" (9-11 yr old)
4/4: 23.5" and up (9 to Adult)

Here are the measurements for a Viola:

13" Viola: 17.6" to 20" (4-7 yr old)
