Gliga Gems 3/4 Size Retail Price: ¥93,500 Almost no scratches or stains; in excellent condition. It has a cool, handsome color and a magnificent flame pattern. There are no issues with playing, but the bridge is slightly warped. The GDA strings are Pirastro Tonica. The G string has some discoloration, but there are no frays and it is still usable. The sound is rather mellow and melancholic. I previously played a Gliga Gems 3/4 made around 2020, but compared to that one, this one has a more dignified tone, perhaps due to its age, and I think it sounds very good among the same series. This item is the body only, but a bow case is also listed on a separate page. It is also listed on another site, so please forgive me if it is sold out. 【Gliga】 Founded in Eastern Europe, Romania, by Mr. Gliga Vasile after training in Germany in the 1990s and obtaining a master craftsman qualification. Uses European wood that Stradivarius also chose. Gliga violins are made by hand using Carpathian spruce and Transylvanian maple, which Stradivarius also used. The authentic manufacturing method of carving from thick, locally harvested boards achieves a deep, soft tone. The beautiful flames are characteristic, and the violins are made with high-quality wood but at a low price, making them a high-cost-performance product unique to Romania. Most of the instruments manufactured are designed based on the Stradivarius or Guarneri models, pursuing a more powerful sound. They manufacture everything in-house, from the thickness of the plates to the fitting parts. They are committed to every element of the instrument, and their passion is poured into Giga's instruments. Gliga violins are chosen for performances in a wide range of genres, from classical music to country music, and are manufactured with an antique finish that does not compromise on sound, aiming for the sound of authentic old violins. 【Gems】 Although an entry-level model, it is handmade and strongly reflects the influence of the higher-end Gliga and Gama workshops. It tends to have a bright, soaring high range and a soft low range.
