[quote=Anonymous]Agree with other PPs about not buying cheap. You can't guess what size violin to use based on shirt size or some vague sense of height vs. adults. Go to Potter's or one of the other stores listed. They rent, they size, they also offer insurance if you're nervous about breakage. Don't waste your money on buying a crummy violin or one that isn't sized right. The only other thing I'd also recommend is that no matter how curious you/your child is, don't mess with it until the music teacher instructs your child to get it set up properly, tension the bow correctly, apply rosin etc. If you don't get it right, it won't sound like much and you can snap bow fibers fairly easily.[/quote]
