MEASURE FOR FIT

Measuring for instruments is not an exact science, but we have found a method that seems to work well. If you do find that the size you measure to is not quite right for your student, our rental program offers free exchanges to different sizes.

TO MEASURE FOR VIOLIN: Have your student stand and extend their left arm, palm facing up, to their side at a 90 degree angle to the body parallel to the floor. Using a yard-stick or tape measure, measure from the base of the neck to the middle of the palm. The chart below will tell you the correct size violin based on this measurement. If you find that your student is between sizes it’s preferred to select the smaller size, it’s easier to play an instrument that is just a bit smaller rather than one that is too big.

Jot down or tuck away in your memory the size you have measured for. You will enter the instrument size into your online rental agreement after selecting your preferred payment plan.
