Violas are typically between fifteen and eighteen inches. However, there are smaller violas for children who are learning the instrument.

Which size a person chooses all depends on their preference and size. I am a 5'4" woman and prefer a 15 inch viola because it fits my frame. My male teacher, however, uses a 17 inch viola. It all depends on the person's frame.

There are several different sizes for viols, as viol encompasses from smallest to largest: the french "pardessus de viole", treble viol, tenor viol, bass viol and violone (a couple of other variants exist, but not so common). To give you an idea, the treble viol is slightly larger than a violin, with a much deeper body, the bass viol is slightly smaller than a cello, violone is like a smallish double-bass. I've seen all sizes of tenor viols, not sure what's standard, but either way it's definitely closer in size to treble than to bass.

How big is an average viola?

There is no set size for a viola, so a good answer would be; as big as the violist can comfortably play. Most often, the larger a viola's body is, the more rich and fine the sound will be. But if you're looking for averages, a full sized viola ranges from 15 to 18 inches, the average being 16 inches.
