I was around 10 and a half when I used a full sized violin.

I started on a 1/4 at age 7 then moved to half age 8 1/2 then to 3/4 at 10 I then got a full size at age 11

I was 14 when I moved onto a full-size violin, and I know this is quite late - I think most people get theirs around 12ish.

But then I didn't get my 3/4 till I was 11. I got a 1/2 when I was 9, I think, and a quarter when I was 8. My 1/16 size lasted me nearly four years!!!

I get the impression that cellists generally have to wait a bit longer before they can play a full-size instrument though!

I couldn't manage my 15" viola until I was 15 - did anyone else start the viola on a strung-up violin? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

yea i started viola on a strung up violin and then i got a full size viola, it was really different. Now im not used to playing on a viola as it is too big for me and is a really big change from my little restrung violin! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

I started playing on a full size cello mainly I think because it was the only avalible instrument. I know a 13 year old cello player from school who still plays a 3/4 size as a full size is bigger than him (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
