ALL ABOUT STRING INSTRUMENTS

The size of the instrument and the size of the student are aligned so the student can hold and play the instrument correctly.

String instruments come in sizes divided into fractions of a full-size instrument for smaller individuals. (1/16 thru 3/4 or 7/8)
Smaller sizes are a scaled down version of a full-size instrument. Bows match the instrument size.
The teacher determines the correct size for the student based on the length of the student's arm.
The size of the instrument has nothing to do with the student's ability to play. In order for the student to go "up a size" s/he has to grow physically.

MORE ABOUT STRING INSTRUMENTS

The teacher will tell you and/or the student when s/he needs a larger size instrument.
Come into the store and exchange the small instrument for a larger one.

There are NO FEES, NO PENALTIES, NO PAYMENT INCREASE to chage the size of the instrument.

It is impractical to rent to own an instrument that is not full-size. Instead, a portion of quarterly rental payments (not including rental protection plan) is equity towards the purchase of a full-size instrument.
