saved so much practice time
ordering this brand for the first time for my younger sister's tiny viola practice and it is honestly so much cleaner than those messy finger tapes we used earlier. the color coded lines make first position notes super clear for beginners without causing any weird string buzz.

A 1/4 size violin is typically suited for young students between the ages of 4 and 7 years old, depending on the child's arm length and overall height.
How many frets are on a viola?
