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.

Out of this world at times

Brilliant with a tinge of warmth and many possibilities is what this string is about.It has a smooth feel and outstanding articulation leaving many brands out in the cold.It's similar to the Lenzner E because of a warm glow that emanates at times but the latter is a little sweeter and more mellow on the whole.The platinum has quite a rich texture and in terms of what you can do it is unsurpassed.The bow response is as it should be and you can't fault it other than the price perhaps! Its unique tone is because of the way its overtones come to the fore and it does sound out of this world at times.I had Amber strings along it and strings do impact each other in all sorts of ways and not least the tone color-I am sure it would be a really interesting experience with other combinations as well.As good as it gets in my opinion. Farid
