    Chris

    I can understand your confusion. It got me also when I first started with the instrument construction.

    4/4 means that it is full size

    4/4 Violin Boby legnth = 356mm

    Violia for a 15 1/2" = 394mm
    16 1/2" = 419mm

    4/4 Cello = 755mm

    I hope this helps. The 4/4 is the standard size for that class of bowed string instrument.

    If you look at the 1/16 size fiddle the actual body legnth is about 8.5"

    These are just the accepted standards.
