Guidelines for Sizing

While it is always preferable to have your child sized by his/her teacher, the following guidelines can help parents determine the proper size instrument for their child.

VIOLIN-VIOLA:
Extend the left arm straight out, palm facing up. Measure from the base of the neck to the cup of the palm:

23 1⁄2 inches or more: 4/4 violin, 14” or larger viola
22 1⁄2 inches: 3⁄4 violin or 13” viola
20 1⁄2 inches: 1⁄2 violin or 12” viola
18 1⁄2 inches: 1⁄4 violin

CELLO-BASS:`
The important measurement is a comfortable span between the index finger and the pinky of the left hand:

6 inches or more: 4/4 cello or 3⁄4 bass
5 inches: 3⁄4 cello or 1⁄2 bass
4 inches: 1⁄2 cello or 1⁄4 bass

REMEMBER: These should only be considered general guidelines. It is always far preferable to have your child sized by the teacher.
