Boieo Mini Violin Model with Bow, 3.26 in Brown Plastic Decor

How big is this mini violin?

This mini violin is about 3.26 in (8.3 cm) long, a little shorter than a credit card, and its separate bow is about 3.54 in (9 cm). It is a display model: the strings are decorative, it cannot be played and it doesn't make a sound. No stand or case is included.

What does it look like?

The body is brown plastic with a black fingerboard, clear strings, f-hole styling and a chin-rest shape, so it reads as a classical violin at a glance. The bow is a separate piece you can lay across the strings or beside the violin.

A "world's smallest violin" for your desk

The tiny violin playing just for you is a classic joke, and a 3.26 in model makes it a physical one for a desk, a shelf or a gift for a violin player. It is not literally the smallest violin in the world, and it plays no music, sad or otherwise. If you want a small violin that plays audio, this isn't it.

Will it fit a dollhouse?

Check scale before you buy. A full-size violin is roughly 23 in (59 cm) long, so a 3.26 in model works out to about 1:7 scale.

Ways to use it

• A music room in a dollhouse or diorama
• A tree ornament: no hanging loop is in the box, so tie a fine ribbon or thread around the neck
• A homecoming mum accent for an orchestra student
• A fairy garden or miniature scene prop
• Desk decor or a recital keepsake for a violin player or teacher

For a whole miniature band, add the seven gold-tone miniature instruments, which include a cello, harp and brass. For handmade ornaments, the mini black top hats for crafts fit the same tiny-decor style, and our miniatures and craft pieces collect more small decor.

Is it a toy for children?

This is a decorative piece, not a toy. The violin and bow are small parts, so keep them away from children under 3.

To keep it looking good, dust it with a soft dry brush and handle the thin bow gently.
