Violin maker Vasile Gliga started making violins about 40 years ago and has since expanded his workshop into a company where hundreds of instruments are built every year by self-trained employees.

All instruments are built by hand, where everyone has their specialty for every part of the instrument. As a result, the pricing is very favorable, without the quality being compromised. Gliga uses Carpathian Maple and Pine (dried for 5 years) for the back and sides and the fingerboard, chinrest and tuning pegs are made of imported ebony. The tailpiece with fine tuners is from the well-known German brand Wittner. Gliga offers a very wide range of instruments, all of which are available through Strijkinstrumentshop.nl. The instruments that Strijkinstrumentshop.nl offers from Gliga are the most favorable in terms of price/quality ratio and are usually immediately available.

The viola is finely tuned in the workshop of Strijkinstrumentshop, including a new Despiau comb (4/4 violins), cut by our violin maker. Shipping takes place in special packaging. Delivery of the instrument takes about 3-4 days due to adjustment and settling of the strings.
