alright i dont know anything about violins other than i love the noises they can make and i was going to buy a cheap violin from musicians friend so i could just play around with it in my free time and they have different sizes or something and im just wondering what does it all mean the 1/8 1/2 3/4 and 4/4 and how should i decide on which to choose.

If you`re an adult or teenager you get 4/4. The smaller ones are children`s sizes.

thanks. could you also tell me what rosin is for

Rosin is a substance that helps the bow hair create friction on the string. (friction causes vibration, thus making sound)


ps. try not to touch the bow hair.

thanks for the info

I want to buy a violin and im 15 what size should i get?

and also im a beginner and how much should i spend on a beginner violin?

4/4 if you`re over 5`2.
And I wouldn`t spend over $500, until you`re sure if you like it.

You might want to rent one first, to make sure you like it and understand the amount of work that will be required to sound good on it. Then consider buying one when you can make a more informed decision.
