Frequently Asked Questions
What age is size 1/4 suitable for?
The 1/4 size violin is generally recommended for children between the ages of 4 and 6, or with an arm length of approximately 44 to 47 cm (measured from the neck to the middle of the palm of the hand).
Does the violin come ready to play?
The violin comes with all the necessary accessories (bow and rosin), but requires initial setup. Rosin needs to be applied to the bow and the instrument tuned. It is recommended that this initial tuning be performed by a teacher or an experienced individual.
What maintenance does this violin need?
Like any stringed instrument, it's important to clean it with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove any rosin. The bow should also be loosened before storing it in its case, and the instrument should be kept in a place with stable humidity and temperature.
Are fine tuners important for a beginner?
Yes, they are very important. Fine tuners allow for small, precise adjustments to the tuning of each string, which is much easier for a beginner than using only the wooden tuning pegs.
