A full size violin (4/4) is the most commonly hired option for adults, teenagers, and older students, making it the standard choice for anyone ready to move beyond fractional sizes. Our full size violin hire service offers a practical, affordable way to start or continue playing without the upfront cost of buying.
Full size violins are generally suitable for players aged 11 years and above, depending on arm length and comfort. If you’re unsure, we’re always happy to help you choose the correct size — and if a change is needed later, size exchanges are completely free of charge.
All of our full size violins are professionally set up, checked in our workshop, and supplied ready to play. This ensures correct string height, tuning stability, and a comfortable playing experience from day one — something that’s especially important for beginners and returning players.
Hiring a full size violin is also a flexible option if you’re considering buying in the future. Selected full size instruments include an option to buy, allowing a portion of your hire payments to be put towards ownership should you decide to keep the violin.
Whether you’re learning for the first time, returning after a break, or need a reliable instrument for lessons or exams, our full size violin hire provides quality, flexibility, and peace of mind.
