Half Size Violin Hire – Popular Choice for Young Beginners

Half size (1/2) violin hire is one of the most commonly hired options and is typically suitable for children aged around 6–9 years. It provides a comfortable playing position while supporting early technique development.

Hiring a half size violin is often recommended over buying, as children can grow out of this size quickly.
