Violin case?

Question

I'm looking at a violin case to buy, But they have this weird messerment system. 1/16 1/10 4/4 1/2 1/4 3/4 1/8. Can any one tell me how long that is in CM. or IN. Or what that all means. Thanks

Answer 1

Those measurements are the size of the violin that the case will hold. If you have a full size instrument (which is most common) then get a 4/4ths case. The way you can tell what size your instrument is, is to look in the f-hole. In the violin, there is a label that tells you who the maker of the violin is and other things. If you still can't figure out the size of the violin, just go into a violin shop and ask. They should be able to help you there. Hope this helped!
