Choosing the Right Size
- The arm length is the key factor: the correct size allows the player to comfortably reach across the strings with an extended arm.
- A viola that’s too large can cause tension in the shoulder or wrist, while one that’s too small may limit tone and posture.
- For children and young players, models with a shorter string length ensure comfortable and enjoyable playability.
