In the Hearth's Warming Eve episode (S2E11) there is a scene where Twi points out a candy cane and describes it as being "8 feet" tall. Scootaloo is show rearing up next to the candy cane which allows us to make a close height approximation. You can view this information here:  http://mlpforums.com/topic/44546-about-how-tall-are-the-ponies/. This indicates a standard sized pony like Twi or Rarity or Tavi is about four feet tall. This would seem to tie in to the picture with her instrument being a cello, because with an endpin on, a cello is about 5 feet in height. In her picture here  http://static4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120205142435/mlp/images/thumb/2/2b/CastleCreator_Octavia.png/180px-CastleCreator_Octavia.png

you can see that Tavi is about 20% shorter than her instrument, which would make her about five feet tall since she is rearing up. That would make her instrument about six feet tall with endpin. This means she is probably playing a 3/4 size double bass or possibly a larger than average cello given that we accept that pony "feet" are the same size as our feet measurements and that pony cellos and double basses are the same dimension as human ones.
