Is there a violin size larger than full size?

Answer 1

why would there be? unless it was custom made for someone, its called full size for a reason. i would presume you can have violins made for a specific person, and if that specific person was rather large, it would result in a rather large violin. if not, play double bass. that's pretty big.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A full-size 4/4 violin is about 23 to 23 1/2 " long with a ~14" body. A viola can come in different sizes like a violin and can be 1 to 4" longer than a 4/4 violin. The big difference is that a viola is tuned (most of the time) to C-G-D-A, one-fifth (five half tones) below the violin.

So...... If you have come across something slightly larger than a 4/4 violin, and you were wondering what it was, it is probably a viola.

On the other hand, if your question arises from the hope of obtaining a violin bigger than a full 4/4 violin, you can always fit violin-gauge strings to a small viola and hope that the added string tension from tuning it to the G-D-A-E violin scale does not snap it in half. (P.S. It probably won't.)

Answer 2

Typically in four sizes:

* 4/4 or full size - about 14" in length * 3/4 - about 13" in length * 1/2 - about 12" in length * 7/8 - slightly shorter than full size often called a "ladies size".

Answer 3

1. 1/16 - Suitable for young children age 3 to five years old. with an arm length of 14 to 15 3/8 inches.

2. 1/10 - Also for young musicians age 3 to 5 years old, with an arm length of 15 3/8 to 17 inches.

Answer 4

Smaller violins have smaller sound because there isn't that much room for the vibrations to reverberate inside the instrument. Larger violins are more expensive but they have better and louder sounds.

Answer 5

yes, there are different sizes. depending on length of your arm

Answer 6

No there are different sizes. Some people have longer or shorter arms.
