Both the 7 year old and 10 year old can use a 1/2 half sized violin. If your 7 ear old is on the smaller size, you may want to get hima 1/4 sized violin, but it's very likely he will quickly out grow the 1/4 sized violin.

You probably need to go with a 1/2 size, especially for the 7 year old. Maybe even a 3/4 for the 10 year old. I guess it also depends on how tall/big your boys are. My daughter is 5 (average height) and she is using a 1/4 size. I am NOT an expert by the way.

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.

They would be the closes to size for a toddler then other headphones. If they don't Amazon is great at taking returns.

Your violin teacher should be able to answer that, but it also depends on the size of the child. My 9 year old has used both during the past year. I would be more concerned with the quality of the violin because that makes a great deal of difference to a beginner.

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.

Google how to measure a child for a violin. Or you could go to a local music store and they would do it for you. It is easier to just do so at home. Then you can just search which size would be correct for her measurements.

My son is 7 and I bought him the small. They have the head measurements for each size listed.

My son is 10 and wears the medium and he is of average size for his age. Unless your 7 year old is tall for his age I would suggest a small.

They should fit a child that size now and still be able to grow into them comfortably. It's a good investment for protecting your child's hearing.

I have twin 11 year old daughters and we purchased theses sea bands when they were just 6 years old. At that time they fit great and we used them often. We still use them on occasion but they do complain that it is too tight now. they have a small bone structure and small wrists. So it might be best to go with an adult size. Good luck!

I'm not sure what the manufacturer's recommendations are but my nephew was 2 when I purchased the violin. He's 3 now and still loves it.

I measured around the headband from one earpad to the the other. The measurement was approximately 12 inches against the inside of the headband, but the headband will not be against the ears due to the thickness of the pad. These fit my petite 7 and 9 year olds on a medium setting. I would estimate my 7 yo to be around the size of most 5 yo. The company offers a 100% money back guarantee. I don't know if that includes shipping. We just got our headphones and are very pleased with the quality. I would recommend giving them a try. My kids did not like using earbuds but these work great!

They are too small for my 10 year old son, but he is almost 5'2" and big for his age. My 6 year old daughter uses these and she is about 4'1".

I would suggest going to a music store to get your child sized for the instrument. My daughter was measured by her orchestra teacher.

If the kid is on the large size, medium would fit. The small size would fit a regular size 10 yr. old.

it depends on how much he weighs. If he is average size, I would get a small. They are true to size. My granddaughter was 7 when I got hers and she is petite and the small was perfect for her. So, being a boy, I would say small and he should get at least a good year of use. I hope this helped you! Have a Merry Christmas and good luck

You have to buy the exact size case for your violin. A case made for a 4/4 violin would be way too big for a 1/2 size violin. And allow the smaller violin to move around inside of the case and possibly get damaged. Buy a 1/2 size case for your 1/2 violin and your violin will fit snuggly and securely.

I think he may be a little young. I bought if for my girls who are 6 and 7 they seem to be a good size for it. There are drum sets that are a bit smaller( Jr sets) they may fit him a little better.
