Which size should I use for my 7/8 violin?

Go with a 4/4 (full) size

Rhiannon recommends players with 7/8 size violins purchase the bow, Bonmusica and case option for 4/4 size violin as they are very close in size.

3/4 size shoulder rests, bows and cases can be too small to accommodate or function with a 4/4 violin.

A 7/8 violin is best suited to a 4/4 bow. The difference in size is negligable and this opens up your options in bows considerably.

Regarding fitting Bonmusica shoulder rests, you can tighten a 4/4 size a tad to fit a 7/8 size violin just fine. View instructions here or see all product instructions here.

And with cases, all our cases have a special neck strap to keep the violin in place even if the body has a bit of wiggle room. You don't want your violin to be forced into a too-tight space.

Cheers!
