It's easy to see why you'd be confused... this article explains what the growth pattern of a violin is like:

But even a Double Bass is only middlin' large... then there's the Giant Violin:

The violin, a project by 15 violin makers from the town of Markneukirchen in Saxony, has a height of 4.27 metres and a bow 5.22 metres long. Based on an old Vogtland model, it is seven times as big as a conventional violin. it takes three musicians to produce a sound.

However, they can grow to even larger proportions...
