15.5" MAESTRO VASILE GLIGA One Piece Back Violas * GC4185

Elena, I want to thank you for making sure the viola arrived in time for my wife's birthday, it brought tears to her eyes when she saw how beautiful it is. She has been wanting to have a viola for years, she has played the violin in the past and it was great to hear her play music again. At some time in the future once the pandemic is done, we are planning to go to Vegas to drop in and see all of the beautiful instruments. I have played the violin since I was eight years old, I even played in my hometowns high school orchestra from age twelve in the 1980's. I have had the honor of playing with my high school orchestra in a performance with a large Philharmonic a year we won our States school competition. Music has always been a part of my life, I appreciate that Gliga can offer such high quality instruments at such affordable prices to further enable more people have and enjoy music. C. Dishner

I have purchased 3 Gliga violas and one Gliga violin at several different price points and am astounded at the quality of each. After using a 16” GEMS 1 and a 16.5” GAMA viola for a while now, I decided to try a 15.5” GEMS 2 student viola on a whim to see if it would be easier to handle. Even though it cost less than half the price of my GAMA it is a joy to play and beautiful to look at too. The one piece bird’s eye maple back and ribs are gorgeous. The pegs turn so easily that the fine tuners are not even necessary. Most importantly though, the sound is excellent and the ease of playing is remarkable. My teacher and orchestral stand partner was amazed by it when we swapped instruments to play a duet. Gliga is quality through and through and I will sings its praises at rehearsals and concerts.

I bought this model as my youngest child's first violin. Although it is said to be a model for beginners, it is difficult to believe that it is because the details are extremely detailed and beautifully finished. I think it's by far the best in the same price range. The sound was so beautiful that even my child's violin teacher was surprised. I believe that the sounds and resonances produced by the instruments that children play when they are young have a great influence on children's ears. So, I'm satisfied with choosing this model because the sound is beautiful.
