Sizing Guide
Choosing the Right String Instrument Size
Determining the correct string instrument size is critical for a positive learning and playing
experience. An instrument that is too large can be difficult to play and one that is too small can
promote the development of bad technique. Whenever you and your student are ready for a new
size, please call us at (610) 406-4300 and we will be happy to exchange your instrument.
