It is common practice to transform violins into violas as long as the student has not gained enough in body height and arm length to cope with a 'real' viola size. Just to remind us about the violin sizes:

14" = 4/4 violin (14" is the length of the main body)

13" = 3/4 violin

12" = 1/2 violin

11" = 1/4 violin

When transformed into a viola, the lower three strings on the violin will shift, we remove the top string, and add a lower string (the C string). As the C string is significantly thicker than the other strings, it is also the most expensive string. Therefore, violins, transformed into violas, cost a little more than the original violin. The normal price of an Arco Violin is $277 (30% Discount available here) the price of a good the C String is $30. (No discount is available for this string.)

The Arco Violin is an entry level violin handmade out of solid timbers with ebony fingerboard, chin rest and pegs. Set up and fitted with an optimised bridge and sound post in the Animato workshop.
