My son is an average sized ten year old. Will this violin, 4/4 fit him?

I think that a full sized violin is probably too big for a 10 year old. My guess is that he would be better off with at 1/2 or 3/4 violin.

Not exactly sure, because we are out of town (this away from the violin), but my daughter has a 3/4 size violin. It fits wonderfully, and has plenty of room to fit a full size snugly. The pocket on the top fits her bon musica, tuner, and rosin without out being difficult to zip shut. It is very light weight and definetly worth the price. However, the handle on it broke right away. We still think it was a worthy purchase though, given the price. The violin only leaves the house once a week though. Not sure how the case would hold up if you transport your instrument from place to place frequently.

yes ma'am it will definitely fit for your six year old son. My son is four years old and it fitted him well a bit space but great fit.

Yes, I think your son would fit just fine. It is actually not for kids too young because the pedals are a little hard if a child is too young.

i got this bow for my son when he turned 7. size wise, it fits fine and he enjoys it. i'd say the child's maturity and the parent's supervision is the biggest factor.

A full size violin (4/4) is an adult size violin. It would be a good size for a 16 year old. A 5 yr old would play a much smaller violin anywhere between a 1/32 - 1/4 depending how long the child's arms are. A 10 yr old could play a 1/2 or 3/4 size.If the 16 yr old has been playing for sometime and plans on playing for sometime, I would recommend going to a music store or violin shop to invest in a good instrument. Otherwise, this is a good beginner instrument.

The case does fit my daughter's standard bow. The case felt a little tight at first on the padding around the neck of the violin, but we pressed down the foam a bit and it fit fine. The case also also fits a shoulder rest.

I bought this for my then 4 year old godchild and it fit great, he loved it! I would say he was an average sized 4 yr. old.

I would suggest reading reviews for the best answer. Size is probably fine. It is a real instrument and not designed for abuse. The case that comes with it is useless. If he is a young protg, you may also want to consult a music store regarding the strings. My son uses this for band at school and it's worked well and his instructor said it was good for now.

No, this is for violas that are too big to use violin shoulder rests. Your son's viola can use a 3/4 or 4/4 violin shoulder rest.

It may fit, however, I bought this for my 5 years old. It fits him comfortably but slip off sometimes. Now that he is six, it fits him perfectly. I hope this helps answer your question. Might be a little big for a 4 years old.

Yes definitely! I bought it for a 4 year old and it just fits him. It is smaller than it looks.

Here is a link with measurments to use for approximation of size. I would remember to allow some room for growth. Depending on the talent of the kiddo, I've seen 6 year olds handle a full size violin, but most children might find it somewhat awkward and frustrating. At these ages, it needs to be kept fun.

I bought this for my adult daughter-in-law and she loves it. My granddaughter is 5 and it's a little big for her but she'll be using it in a couple of years. I'd say this violin would be good for anywhere from 10 years on up!

It would depend. My son is 4, and tall but very skinny. It is too big on him, but wearable. I would say that it would probably fit an average sized child of 6 or 7.

I actually didn't see the previous answer but I guess that validates it for you. My son is smaller 4 year old and it fits him fine.

The guitar is adult sized. I bought it for my teen son who is basically adult sized. I'd say it would fit fine for an older child or teen. But my judgment is a bit skewed as my boys are very tall. It is just important a child can get his/her arm over the top and reach the strings
