Anton Breton AB-20 Warm Brown Student 3/4 Violin Outfit
The Anton Breton AB-20 Warm Brown Student 3/4 Violin Outfit is a 3/4-size student violin with a solid spruce top, solid maple back and sides, and a translucent warm brown finish. It ships as a complete outfit with an Anton Breton AB-112 Brazilwood bow and a deluxe semi-shaped foam case.
What size player is a 3/4 violin for?
A 3/4 violin generally suits a player about 9 to 11 years old, with an arm length of roughly 22 to 23 inches (56–58 cm). Measure from the side of the neck, along the outstretched arm, to the middle of the palm.
Sizing follows the player's reach rather than age alone, so measure before choosing. If a measurement falls between two sizes, the smaller size is usually the safer choice, because an oversized violin makes good left-hand technique harder to learn.
Violin sizes run, smallest to largest: 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and 4/4 (full size).
How does the Anton Breton AB-20 compare to the AB-05?
The AB-20 is the higher of the two Anton Breton violin models Saga lists. It has an ebony fingerboard and fittings, a Cremona VP-202 2-star aged maple bridge, an AB-112 Brazilwood bow, and a deluxe semi-shaped foam case. The AB-05 uses an ebonized hardwood fingerboard and fittings, a Cremona VP-201 aged maple bridge, an AB-100 bow, and a standard foam case, and it is also made in smaller sizes down to 1/4.
