Violin, Viola, Cello & Bass Size Charts

Use the charts below to find the usual size for a violin, viola, cello or double bass by age, height or arm measurement. If you'd like a personal recommendation, the free FitFinder tool further down the page gives you a recommended size and fit checklist in a few minutes.

Children grow at different rates, so measurements beat age. When a player falls between two sizes, choose the smaller one.

CC500 4/4 Suspension Violin Case

The CC500 suspension violin case is one of our most popular full-size cases, trusted by students, teachers, and advancing players who want reliable protection without unnecessary bulk. Designed for daily school use and private study, it offers the right balance of durability, function, and thoughtful interior organization.

The suspension interior cradles the instrument above the outer shell, helping to protect it from impact during transport. A plush lining cushions the violin, while the built-in hygrometer allows players to monitor humidity levels — an important feature for maintaining proper instrument care year-round.

The rugged Cordura cover is screw-attached for added durability and includes a protective rain flap. Inside, the case features four Hill-style bow holders, two spacious accessory compartments, and a string tube for organization. A full-length exterior music pocket keeps books and sheet music secure, and the included shoulder strap makes travel to lessons and rehearsals comfortable and convenient.

For players seeking dependable protection with practical features, the CC500 continues to be a top choice.
