A quality violin in the right size, ready to take home. Getting the correct fit makes a huge difference in comfort and progress — we'll measure your student in studio so you leave with exactly the right instrument.
Pay the $25 refundable deposit at pickup. Rent is $25 a month, plus $7 if you add insurance.
Swap to the next size at no extra charge, and return the violin whenever you're ready.
Arm length matters more than age. Stretch your student's left arm straight out to the side, palm up, and measure from the side of the neck to the middle of the palm.
| Violin size | Arm length | Typical age |
|---|---|---|
| 1/8 | 17–18½ in | About 4–5 |
| 1/4 | 18½–20 in | About 5–7 |
| 1/2 | 20–22 in | About 7–9 |
| 3/4 | 22–23 in | About 9–11 |
| Full (4/4) | 23 in and up | About 11 to adult |
This is a starting point. We'll check the fit in the studio before your violin goes home.
