Violin Size Guide

The ideal size violin for a child is that which allows a 90° angle at the elbow when holding the violin in a playing position. We recommend using a flexible tape measure to measure the distance between the base of the neck and the left wrist. The hand should be extended and the arm held out perpendicular to the body with the shoulder relaxed. Take this measurement and use the table below to determine the correct instrument size. We strongly discourage playing on instruments with ‘growing room’ as this can have a detrimental effect on technique, form and posture.

The following table provides a guide to selecting a suitable instrument size. Other factors may be taken into account, including teaching method, and teacher and player preference. Instrument sizes may vary within their defined fractional size; this guide applies to Stringers’ range of instruments, and is intended to be as comprehensive as possible, but not definitive.

Age	Distance 'A'	Violin Size

4-5	15"-15 3/4"	1/16
5-6	15 3/4"-16 1/2"	1/10
5-7	16 1/2"-18"	1/8
6-8	18"-20"	1/4
8-10	20"-21 1/2"	1/2
10-12	21 1/2"-23"	3/4

Pierre Marcel instruments are made of carefully selected, seasoned European tone wood. Hand made with traditional craftsmanship by master violin builders with more than 20 years of experience. Each piece has its own unique character. The varnish is transparent and imitates the natural process of ageing. Pierre Marcel instruments have rich and warm sounds, the perfect fit for talented students and professional musicians.

Pierre Marcel instruments purchased from Stringers are expertly set up by our luthiers in our own workshops to professional standards before being play-tested and sound-adjusted for optimum tone and balance.

Set Up by Stringers

This instrument is set up professionally in our in-house Edinburgh workshop by our expert luthiers. It is then sound-tested and tonally adjusted in conjunction with our playing staff. Only once we are satisfied the timbre, playability and appearance are optimised is the instrument made available for sale to our customers.

What is a setup?

A violin, viola or cello setup refers to the playing action of the instrument; the interaction between the bridge, soundpost, strings and their other contact points including the nut at the top of the fingerboard and the tailpiece and saddle. The setup is critical in the production of sound as well as determining playability. Many student instruments are sold with a basic factory setup, without being checked, tested or improved at all. Not only does this limit the instrument's timbral potential, but also the way the instrument can be played, often inhibiting progress and instilling poor playing habits.
