Scarlatti VL 3/4 starterset

General

The Scarlatti VL 3/4 is a so-called three-quarter violin, which is a good stroke smaller than the standard 4/4 violin. Its size suits children around 9 and 10 years old well. With its interesting price, the VL 3/4, which also comes with a case and bow, is an attractive purchase for parents who want to check for a while whether the violin is the right instrument for their son or daughter. Scarlatti violins are equipped with fine tuners and largely made of solid woods.

The violin size 3/4

The size 3/4 is suitable for children with an arm length of about 57 cm. You measure this from the middle of the palm to the neck, directly below the jaw. The hand should now be able to fold comfortably around the curl, with the fingers pointing to the face and the elbow very slightly bent. If in doubt between two sizes, it is best to take the smaller of the two. By the way, 3/4 does not mean that this violin is a quarter smaller than a 4/4 violin; the difference is much smaller.

• Note: Before use, read the 'Instructions for preparing Scarlatti violins for playing'.
