This is a top-of-the-line violin made by Mr. Gliga in Romania. Made in 2012, with Mr. Gliga's handwritten signature on the label. Although not new, it is in a condition that can be described as almost new. The back plate is a rare one-piece back, also known as OPB (One Piece Back). It is rarely seen on the market. Currently, similar class instruments are sold at major musical instrument stores for 500,000 to 600,000 yen. The maestro produces very few instruments per year, and without a doubt, the world's top-grade wood is used in these modern new violins. In particular, this individual instrument has a back plate made of a single piece of exquisite beauty, elevating the instrument to the realm of art. The exquisite craftsmanship of this instrument extends to the smallest details. You can immerse yourself in the pleasure of owning and gazing at the overall tiger-stripe pattern and the expression of the carving. Regarding the tone, the deep and sweet mid-low range characteristic of Gliga is impressive, but the perfectly balanced overall sound, the wide range of tones, and the wide dynamic range demonstrate the high performance of the stringed instrument. There is no choice but to agree that Gliga maestros are highly valued in the market. And because the Maestro model is made to be used for hundreds of years, its sound will improve with long-term ownership, and its value as an instrument will further increase. It is a "genuine" instrument that can transcend generations, both modern and old, as time goes by. We hope you understand that it is a newly born instrument at this stage and that you will be able to enjoy it for a long time. ◆Accessories ・Case: Gig Case, rectangular ・Bow: Believed to be a Brazilian wood bow, worth around 30,000 yen.
