Violin Sizing
Violins come in many different sizes. 4/4 is the largest size violin made. This is also called a full size violin. As a general rule, all average sized adults will play a 4/4 size violin. Most children over the age of 12 will also play a 4/4 (full sized) violin.Violin Sizes by age. This is only meant as a guideline.
Violin Sizing by Measurement.
Children and small adults will need to take a measurement.
First up, we first need a measurement from the side of the neck to the wrist joint.
With this we can estimate the proper size violin for you.
The correct size will be below the measurement.
