To decide violin or viola size, we strongly recommend the "Arm Length Approach". The "Approx. Age Approach" is not accurate. For cello, one should choose the "Height Approach."
Here is how to measure the arm length of the student:
(1) Extend the student's left arm perpendicular to the body;
(2) Measure from the left side of the student's neck to the center of the left palm.
