VIOLIN SIZING
Selecting the correct size violin is crucial especially for young beginners. A well-fitted violin ensures comfort, proper technique, and prevents strain and injuries.
Playing on a violin that’s too big or too small can lead to discomfort and hinder progress. Make sure to measure your arm length, consult with a teacher, or better yet, come down to Village Music for a free sizing session.
If the suggestions above aren’t possible below is a handy guide to help get you in the right ball park.
