1/2 Size Violin Outfits

The 1/2 size violin is typically recommended for children between the ages of 6 and 8, or students with an arm length of approximately 20 to 22 inches (52–57 cm).

Choosing the right size is the single most important decision a parent can make for a beginning student. An instrument that is too large creates tension, discourages practice, and can cause injury. An instrument that fits correctly allows the student to focus entirely on learning.

At this size many students are entering their first formal lesson program — Suzuki Book 1, school orchestra, or private study. The instruments in this collection are professionally set up to respond to a young student's developing technique from the very first note.
