Vio-Meter
(Violin Student Measuring Device)

Never again be in doubt about the size violin you recommend.  Measures a student in seconds!  A must for private or large group teaching.

Directions for Use

1. Hold the Vio-Meter under the player’s chin as you would a violin.
2. Extend the left arm forward with the elbow strait and the palm up. (Extending the arm to the side will give an incorrect measurement).
3. Extend the Vio-Meter gauge to the point where the ball end reaches the middle of the player’s left palm.
4. The black dot on the extender will line up with the correct size on the gauge.
   

N.B. The guide on the Vio-Meter indicates in fractions the various size
         instruments.
    
The black dot above the fractions indicates the median size for the particular instruments.

A student who measures anywhere within the parameters set by the parallel line on either side of a fraction, i.e.
From                                 To
/……………1/2……………/
may comfortably use that size instrument.
Should the measurement tend toward the lower half of the given area, the teacher may elect to use a size smaller.

If the student measures on the upper half of the area, the teacher may elect to use the next size larger.
