How to determine
what size violin you need:
Violins are available in 8 different sizes: 4/4 (also called full
size), 3/4, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/10, 1/16 and 1/32. Size 4/4 is the
biggest and size 1/4 is the smallest. All adults, regardless of
their size, use the size 4/4 violin.
To measure what size violin best suits you, you
need to know the length between your neck and the middle of your
left-hand palm (when your hand is fully extended and raised perpendicular
to your body, just like holding a violin). Most of the teachers
prefer students to use the length from the neck to the wrist for
measurement instead of the neck to mid-palm approach. The violin
size determined by the neck/wrist approach would be the size that
is more comfortable for students to hold. The violin size determined
by the neck/mid-palm approach would be the biggest size students
should use.
If you have a teacher, you should ask for your
teacher's recommendation. If you don't have a teacher, we would
recommend using the neck/wrist approach for students not using
full size; for students who are deciding whether to used size
3/4 or size 4/4, use the neck/mid-palm approach. This is because
it is always better those students feeling comfortable holding
and playing the violin. However, while deciding between size 3/4
and size 4/4, if neck/mid-palm approach allows for size 4/4, then
buying a size 4/4 is more economical since you don't have to buy
another bigger size violin later. This is completely based on
economical consideration. You should still decide what best suits
your need.
The following table lists the length of each violin size. Find
your length using your preferred approach and use that to determine
the size of violin to get. |
