A violin needs to fit the player's reach, not just their age. In West Richland, use an age-and-height chart as a first guide, then have the player's reach checked before choosing a size. Music Unlimited and Ted Brown Music are places to see violins and compare sizes in person. Ask the player to hold the instrument in playing position so comfort and reach are easier to judge. A violin is small enough to keep in a safe, easy-to-reach place at home, which can help practice become part of the week. Keep the instrument in its case when it is not being played, and plan for regular string and bow care as needed.
