Measure from the tip of the index finger to the tip of the pinky with the hand naturally extended. When between sizes, choosing the smaller bass generally makes early technique and posture more comfortable. Generally: 3\/4 (ages 13+), 1\/2 (ages 9-13), and 1\/4 (ages 7-9).

Measure from the tip of the index finger to the tip of the pinky with the hand naturally extended. When between sizes, choosing the smaller bass generally makes early technique and posture more comfortable. Generally: 3\/4 (ages 13+), 5\/8 or 1\/2 (ages 9-13), 1\/4 (ages 7-9), and 1\/8 and under (ages 5 and younger).

Measure from the tip of the index finger to the tip of the pinky with the hand naturally extended. When between sizes, choosing the smaller bass generally makes early technique and posture more comfortable. Generally: 3\/4 (ages 13+) and 1\/2 (ages 9-13).
