Violin Rentals
Finding the right instrument can be difficult for new violin students and parents, so I have listed a couple rental companies that I trust and have worked with before. Please, feel free to contact me if you need help selecting an instrument. Below, I have included a chart for determining the correct violin size for your student.
To measure arm length:
Measure the distance between the base of the neck and the middle of the left palm, with the left arm extended out, as if holding a violin. Do not reach with arm or bend the arm. Hold the arm out straight and relaxed.
