Sizing Guide for String Instruments

This sizing guide is intended to give you a good idea of what instrument size you or your student should look for. Please consider that this guide is based on our best estimates, but we always recommend that you consult with us, or your teacher before purchasing or renting.

At Fiddlershop we care a lot about how our instruments are set up for them to sound the best. Equally important to the instrument itself, is how your instruments fits you. If you play on the wrong size violin, it might lead to pain, fatigue and injury. It also makes it harder to play. Thus, we have put together this guide for you.

SIZING FOR CELLOS

How to measure for a cello:

Sit at the end of the chair with your feet flat on the floor. Lean the cello at a 45 degree angle against your body. The top of the cello body, should rest in the center of your chest. The C peg should be slightly behind your left ear. Make sure you can reach both ends of the fingerboard easily. See chart for approximate sizing by age.

Most important is that you’re comfortable and can reach the higher registers without difficulty. See chart for approximate sizing by age.

Fiddlerman Concert Viola Review

An advancing level viola with a deep appealing sound, responsive playability and great looks. Big, bold sounding, great "hand feel", precisely-functioning components and an inspiring look! Carefully selected aged flamed tonewoods with real ebony fittings and careful hand-varnishing brings out the natural beauty of the wood and the tone. Fine balance and powerful projection are enhanced by pro-quality Overture Ultra strings (synthelon core).

Every Fiddlerman Viola is adjusted, tuned and tested by Fiddlerman himself!
When you buy this violin, it will arrive ready to play out of the box!

Available in 12" - 16.5" size.

Outfit includes:

  • Shaped Black Case - Dark blue interior
  • Fiddlerman Carbon Fiber Viola Bow
  • Fiddlerman Rosin
  • Muco Viola Shoulder Rest

Every Fiddlerman instrument undergoes our famous 10-point inspection!

Ordinary Sound

I returned it; I didn't like the sound of it, especially the D string, which sounded muddy. Overall it sounded similar to all other violas I've tried, even some costing over four thousand dollars, and none of which I've liked the sound of: the D and sometimes G strings have a kind of foghorn ring to them; maybe that's the warm tone that many people like or at any rate allows the instrument to blend-in in an orchestra. I much prefer my first one, which is a Cecilio CVA-400 I got from you guys that sounds more like a fiddle. My teacher said I must have stepped into an alternative reality to get that viola: in her opinion it's miraculous that it sounds as good as it does bearing in mind the price I paid for it. I'm no longer looking for a new, better viola, only a back-up I can travel with.

Blown Away

I have played cheap instruments and very fine instruments. I am simply blown away by this deal. The attention to detail in the setup is phenomenal. Fiddlershop does not skimp on the things that are important here, which is the setup, and all the necessary stuff to start playing. It even came with a mute. I think that anyone who buys this and puts a set of nice strings on it will find that it is indeed a concert ready viola. The wood is nice and the finish on it is way above what you would normally get with an instrument at this price. I payed quadruple this back when I was in grade school for a similar instrument, and it didn't even come set up correctly. The case is very nice as well. I don't know how they do it, but this is one of those rare instances of a company that is offering a surprisingly great deal. Also, they have fantastic customer service reps that cheerfully answered all my questions as I bothered them for a week straight before buying. If I sound like a marketer for the company, it's because I wish I was. It's that good.

You won't find

You won't find more outstanding customer service than Fiddlershop. I don't have my Concert Viola yet, but Mike was extraordinarily patient with all of my questions and did everything possible so I could get the viola I truly wanted. If you're on the fence about what to choose, write or give them a call. They will work with you. Fiddlershop mailed my order out in less than 3 hours after I placed it! Before it went out, Pierre AKA Fiddlerman/Violaman) sent me a video of my very own viola! :) Such terrific service, and sincere, friendly folks!
