Three-quarter orchestral violin
The 3/4 violin is a fractional-size instrument suited to advancing children who have outgrown smaller violins but are not yet ready for a full-size model. It is widely used in private tuition, youth orchestras and school music programmes, where comfort and correct positioning are essential.
Balanced for learning and performance
A good 3/4 violin should offer clear response, dependable tuning and a setup that supports developing technique.
