Gliga Vasile is a Romanian violin maker based in Reghin, Romania, building to the authentic Stradivari design. All are handmade and oil varnish finished to allow the violin to ‘breathe’ and develop full bodied tone.
The Gliga series offer a range that are well worth an upgrade to, particularly in 3/4 or full size, and you may be surprised by how affordable they are. Gligas have three student models, priced to reflect your preference in timber grading, with the Gliga III under $500 (amazing for a quality European-made violin), and the mid-level Gliga II and the Gliga I (premium timbers) for under $1,000.
All Gligas bought from Morris Brothers include professional set-up, deluxe hardshell case, upgrade bow and strings.
