how do you know what size violin to get?

When you hold a violin your left hand should be able to reach the end of the finger board with a slight bend in the elbow. Or if you can't hold a violin to judge the fit and order online, like I did, 4/4 or full is normally for adults and as the sizes go down..2/4, 3/4, etc then they are for younger ages. Hope that helps a little

Here's a chart I found Lillian, I hope it helps :) Violin Size. We bought the full size because of arm length. We found the full size was comparable to the next size down in the Mendini brand..[[Age 4/4 (Full Size) 11 years to adult]],[[3/4 size ages 10-11]], [[1/2 size ages 8-9]],[[1/4 size ages 6-7]], [[1/8 size ages 5]], [[1/10 size ages 4]], [[1/16 size ages 3]], [[1/2 - 1/32 ages 3 and younger]]

There is a chart right at the top of this page. It could not be simpler. Just look up you uke's length. You have 3 choices in lengths.

Probably 1/4 but she may need the 1/2 if she higher on the growth curve. Usually it's 18.5" arm length for 1/4 vs. 20". If you want to be sure, just go to any place that sells violins and they should be willing to measure her for free.

Google how to measure a child for a violin. Or you could go to a local music store and they would do it for you. It is easier to just do so at home. Then you can just search which size would be correct for her measurements.

No, the 4/4 set's gauges and lengths are really only appropriate for 4/4 size. But you can get the set in 3/4, 1/2 and 1/4 sizes - available on Amazon, natch. http://www.amazon.com/DAddario-J810-4M-Prelude-Strings/dp/B00030CJAG/ref=pd_sim_sbs_MI_7 , http://www.amazon.com/DAddario-J810-2M-Prelude-Strings/dp/B00030CJA6/ref=sr_1_4?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1386875921&sr=1-4&keywords=D%27Addario+Prelude+Violin+string+set , http://www.amazon.com/DAddario-J810-4M-Prelude-Strings/dp/B0002D08IE/ref=sr_1_11?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1386876277&sr=1-11&keywords=D%27Addario+Prelude+Violin+string+1%2F4

I used it for "thickness=12mm diameter=8-9.5mm hole". I have no idea about violin hole size. However it works well to enlarge wood hole. Let's try it with your own risk.

You can read the size on the product s page. The size is exactly as on the specs given by amazon. By the way the sound and quality are incredible

For some reason the drumming world remains in the imperial world so measurements for drums and cymbals are usually in whole inches. Use the diameter for cymbals and drums diameter by height (or vice versa). eg toms 10x8, 12x9, 14x14 etc.

Greetings I'm not familiar with the sizing of Violins; I don't know what 1/16 means so far as size. I know the violin I bought to put up for display is a smaller children's instrument. I measured the width of the neck of my violin at the neck's end where the tuning pegs are. Mine measures one inch in width. The head where the tuning pegs are is wider than the end of the neck. My violin sits very well in the V-notch of the string swing mount. I have not had any issues at all with the instrument coming off or falling. It does not hang by the tuning pegs so there is no stress on any part of the instrument that could warp it over time. I've had mine hanging for more than a half year and not one problem. There's a an extension of one of the forks (you can see it in the picture) for hanging the bow with the violin. For the money, the hanger was actually perfect. Good Luck!

Mine still exists. I bought it in February. I just can't USE it because the poor design has all the finger placements wrong. I think any violin (even this one) will last a long time, if you care for it properly and treat it gently.

Should be a nice fit. The outside of the case is 10x3x3 but that is not it's maxed out. That is with a violin rest inside. Has a lot more room to expand if needed. Can't even see that there is anything inside of ours. Hope that helps. Should fit quite nicely.

Yes it will fit a 3/4 size violin. You will need to adjust the feet. It's very simple and self explanatory, or a teacher can do it.

These are made for 4/4 violin. The company may make some for cello, but they would need to be larger in diameter
