Measure from the side of the neck, along the outstretched arm, to the middle of the palm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizing 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eViolin sizes run, smallest to largest: 1\/16, 1\/8, 1\/4, 1\/2, 3\/4, and 4\/4 (full size).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow does the Anton Breton AB-05RD compare to the AB-20?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AB-05 and AB-20 are the two Anton Breton violin models Saga lists.
