Hello...

I am taking my 6 year old neice with me now to the Irish music lessons I teach at...

(I teach whistle and bodhran)

Now, not knowing much about fiddles... they are a different kind of beast. My neice showed an interest for having a go at the fiddle...

Great thinks I, I have a 1/2 size or it might be a 3/4 sized fiddle at home doing nothing... It will probably do for my neice.

Now, my friend the fiddle tutor (who is not sure himself about the right size fiddle) says it might be a bit big for her... how do you tell, how do you get a fiddle the right size.

Is there anything you should measure - length of arm?

Any advice please?

She's already being taught the whistle by me and the bodhran... not sure how much more her mom can take.. but ha ha ahahaahahahaha I'm not the one who hears the practi
