Choosing the correct size of instrument is very important!

Both violin and cello come in several different sizes that accommodate students of all sizes. A smaller, younger student would not want to begin on a full-size instrument.

We have a sizing guide below, but we also suggest visiting a music store specializing in your instrument. There, you can be matched with the perfect instrument and purchase/rent!

Violin students will need a shoulder rest that fits their instrument.
