Renting an instrument is the best option for beginners.
What size should I order?
Beginning string students are able to rent an instrument that is the correct size for them. A 1/2 size violin, viola, or cello is the right size for an average 4th grader, but if they're on the smaller size, 1/4 is advised. Rented instruments can be traded out anytime for another size.
4th Grade Bass Players!
Bass players should order a 1/8 size!
Caution!
We strongly advise against buying an instrument from a generic online vendor. While they may seem cheaper, these instruments are often a poor investment because they are low-quality, have no support or warranty, and can cause frustration for beginners.
