Sizes
The standard size which is common today is the 3/4 size. This corresponds to a body length of about 114 cm and of (swinging) string length between 104 cm and 108 cm. Further sizes which are common are besides 4/4 also 7/8, 5/8 and 1/2. A double bass of 1/2 size is however not half as big as a 4/4 double bass but it has a body length of about 96 cm.
