General question, I have a 6 yr old daughter who is interested in a violin, what size should I be looking at? 1/4 or 1/2?
1992066
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.

Yes my 4/4 violin and standard bows fit really well . I have had no problems with the case . I'm very happy with it , I feel it's a really good case for the price .

Absolutely. My 1 1/2 and 4 1/2 had great fun with it but a 6 year old would get a lot more out of it. It's a good musical instrument not just a toy.

Hello, Lori, it all depends on her height and love for drumming. If she is serious, I think you want to invest in a set perhaps cost a bit more. She may not want a beginner set. This set is really good but I do plan on getting my son some of the "v drums" perhaps around your daughter age if his passion for playing increases. I hope this helps.

I think so if that's the same size as a 4/4 violin. It's not adjustable, so measure carefully.

Not exactly sure, because we are out of town (this away from the violin), but my daughter has a 3/4 size violin. It fits wonderfully, and has plenty of room to fit a full size snugly. The pocket on the top fits her bon musica, tuner, and rosin without out being difficult to zip shut. It is very light weight and definetly worth the price. However, the handle on it broke right away. We still think it was a worthy purchase though, given the price. The violin only leaves the house once a week though. Not sure how the case would hold up if you transport your instrument from place to place frequently.

My daughter is 8 and we got the middle one. And that is fine for her size. I think the small one would be way too small for your daughter as it seems to be for pre school aged kids.

The box says 3+. My son is 2 and it is just right for him now as a toddler. The violin would be too small for lower elementary age children.

If the bow that your 6 year old is shooting has an arrow rest, go with the 28" or even the 30" that way you wont have to renew these arrows when he gets a little older. If he is shooting a traditional type of bow like low poundage youth longbow without a Modern style arrow rest then go with less then 28" coz aiming with longer arrows is more difficult & ruins posture & learning technique. Although 27" is quite ideal for kids less than 10 years of age, for the bad quality of the fletchings on these arrows & taking into account that the arrows from this seller does not come in 27" I would recommend getting 27" arrows from Another seller. Hope that helped. If the bow that your 6 year old is shooting has an arrow rest, go with the 28" or even the 30" that way you wont have to renew these arrows when he gets a little older.

I would say that this guitar is the average size. If it's a bit too big, she'll grow, and I'm site she'll like it, I do. :)

It was in excellent shape when I bought it. It sounds good to me (as a parent) and I find that it is staying in tune now better than when we first bought it. So I would recommend it as a beginner violin.

I would recommend size 1-4.. you can't go wrong because he can grow with this size. If he is a size 13, it is cushion and nice tight straps so his feet won't slide around . 13 1/2 is an average 6yr old size. Good choice gift to buy I must add!

A full size violin (4/4) is an adult size violin. It would be a good size for a 16 year old. A 5 yr old would play a much smaller violin anywhere between a 1/32 - 1/4 depending how long the child's arms are. A 10 yr old could play a 1/2 or 3/4 size.If the 16 yr old has been playing for sometime and plans on playing for sometime, I would recommend going to a music store or violin shop to invest in a good instrument. Otherwise, this is a good beginner instrument.

The best answer is to take it to your teacher or a local music store so they can fit it to your shoulder and chin. You'll love this violin!!

My 4 year old has shot it. Seems to be a really nice bow. If your youngster is small they may not be able to draw it very easily. My little girl is about 4 1/2 yrs and she is nearly 54" tall and 49lbs. She can draw fairly comfortably but some of my small 4-h kids that are couch potatoes are having trouble with it. For $40 they wont have to wait long if they cannot now.

It really depends on the child's size, but a rough estimate for that age would probably be 1/8. You should take your child to a music store so they can give you a better estimate.
