12" viola specs: viola body-length 16" / 40.5cm (back-length); bow length 19.25" / 49cm; generally a starting point for the 3-6yo viola player whose arm-length measures 16"±1" / 40.5cm±2.5cm (measured center-of-shoulder to fingertips). Viola teachers generally recommend practicing w/smaller viola-sizing rather than going bigger, which may become more-problematic while developing playing technique, so overlapping w/a smaller viola is perfectly OK. It's strongly recommended that anything smaller than an 11" viola, start w/a ⅒ or smaller violin to start w/the viola playing development.
The inventory of 13½-sized rental violas currently under development; our sincere apologies for any inconvenience.

Our monthly rates offer very favorable rental credit-to-purchase terms towards a high-quality brand-new size-up/step-up cello!
Monthly rates shown are based upon a minimal full K-12 school season rental contract; typically 8-months ±/a month.
*100% of monthly payments up to one-year (12-full months!) will ALWAYS accumulate as credit towards purchase of a brand-new violin or ANY other string-orchestral instrument (i.e. violin, cello & double bass) EVEN AT JUST ½ THE LISTED VALUE OF THE LEGACY RENTAL INSTRUMENT! Any string-orchestral instruments less than ½ the listed value of the rental-credited instrument can still receive ½ of the accumulated rental-payment credit.
*Payments made after the first year of payments on the contract will continue to accumulate as rental-credit towards purchase at 50%; e.g. $25/mo payment the first year=$250 rental-credit towards purchase - $25/mo payment the second year=$125 rental credit towards purchase.
Insurance to cover damage repair costs available on a month-to-month basis, typically applied at the start of the rental contract term; adding insurance afterwards will require that the instrument be returned to shop for full inspection before insurance can be added.
Additional terms may apply, including early-returns before completion of school term rental contract, non-payment of rental due (this is typically avoided with customer's mandatory enrolling in auto-pay with eligible debit or credit card), court/legal fees under extraordinary circumstaces including theft of property by fraud; additional details available upon preparation of the instrument to the student/performer and the contract write-up.
