what size is an intermediate viola?

Question

i need to rent a viola for my son, and the school told us intermiate viola?

Answer 1

im not sure what intermediate is but they range from like 13-17inches, you should just get one in a size that your son feels comfortable with. right now i play a 15 1/2 and im in high school, but it should be small enough that he can cup the scroll with his hand while in playing position. if you need more specifics u can email me.

hope this helps

wait, I forgot to add that if your son is in elementary school, and a 13 inch is too big for him, you may want to get a violin strung as a viola, thats what I did when I first started in 4th grade.

Answer 2

well..
theres 1/4 1/2 3/4 4/4 sizes

uhh if your son is like me, and is starting in like 3rd grade or so

get like a 1/4 or 1/2


intermediate...never heard of it :O
maybe thats the level hes playing at?

Answer 3

i never heard of that.....but it depends on your sons size first off....so you should get that checked when you go to a strings shop/store....they should be able to measure him
