Viola Size Guide

The ideal size viola for a child is that which allows a 90° angle at the elbow when holding the viola 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.

*Viola sizes over 15” should be determined by personal and teacher preference.

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.

Stringers Master violas are crafted specially for Stringers by a master luthier at Eastman Strings from the most select, stunningly flamed maple back and a straight medium-grain spruce top. The gold-coloured oil varnish enhances the tonal quality giving lots of depth and edge. Each instrument is meticulously crafted for optimum sound production.

This product is an instrument only - no case or bow is supplied.

~ Setup by Stringers ~

Stringers professional bridge and soundpost by our experienced in-house luthiers ensures each instrument leaves our workshop exhibiting its peak tonal potential for quality and evenness. We also stringently sound test each and every instrument before it reaches our studio.

Each instrument is unique; wood, grain, varnish and fittings may differ from photographs.

~ RUN BY MUSICIANS, FOR MUSICIANS ~

All Stringers instruments are set up expertly by our luthiers in our Edinburgh workshop and checked by our playing staff.
