4/4 (Full Size) Violin
4/4 (Full) Size Violins
Full-sized violins are typically played by adults, teens and some children over age 10. It's almost always the largest and final size played for averaged size teen and adult players.
Usually when a child outgrows their last fractional-sized violin and is ready for a full size, their family is confident to invest in a considerably higher quality violin since it won't be physically outgrown and could very well be the last violin they ever purchase. Quite often parents ask us to help them select a violin for their child that will sustain their playing through college or, better, a master/professional-level instrument that will assure their advancement for the rest of their lives.
A high quality violin well above the playing level of the musician enourages musical development and maturity without being held back musically by the instrument. Ideally all players can be so fortunate to own and play a violin of such high quality that it will never be musically outgrown.
Viola Option: The body of a 3/4 size violin is usually about 14" (35.5cm) long. Thus 4/4 size violins can also be restrung with short-scale viola strings for younger players seeking a 14-inch viola.
