For most instruments, hand size, arm length, lip size, and dental structure are the key factors involved in finding the right fit. Some of this might be able to get accomplished virtually.
An online Google Hangout would be very helpful. The students could also submit photos using common items as a size reference. • A photo of a child's hand with a quarter in their palm
can help a teacher judge finger length and finger pad size.
• Yard sticks are great for arm length.
