Musician Testimonials
Today I received the European antiqued workshop violin. It's very nice violin and I like it very much. In Japan we can't buy good violins like this at this price. I appreciate your excellent work. I'm very happy. Michinari Nagai
The carving arrived safe and sound. It's very nice. Thanks! Jim
... Also, maybe it's just my ears,but my viola seems to really be opening up the more I play it. My wife who is a professional musician is amazed at the powerful, yet beautiful sound produced by this instrument. I tell her it is indeed a wonderful instrument,but who is playing it makes all the difference in the world. Thanks again, Fred
Thanks for sending us the violin quickly. Our daughter was able to play for her instructors yesterday and they both have approved of the instrument. We wish you the best of success in your business and will contact you again for any future needs. Dave
I received my viola this afternoon. ... I wish that I had won this viola on eBay. That way I could have given you positive feedback. Wow, what an instrument! There is no comparison between this viola and what is available in this area. The workmanship is perfect, and the finish is flawless. The tone is remarkable for an instrument this young. Thank you very much for selling me such a remarkable instrument, and at such a remarkable price. I am sure that with time this viola will only appreciate in value, and give many people joy in the hearing of it. Again, thank you very much. Best regards, Richard "Fred" Kronenberg
I am writing to inform you that I have received the violin...I thank you for the care you took in packing it. The time you must have spent truly shows that you care about your customers. The violin is perfect. Thank you for your time and consideration. Michael Primrose P.S. We have left positive feedback in your file...
Thank you on your response. ... I had but little time to play my violin, and here are my first impressions. Parisian dressed Dame with Gipsy soul. Lot more Del Gesu than Strad. Dark, deep and mellow. Very powerful but lucking finesse and brilliance. ... Violin is superb value, definite keeper. I believe that my Gipsy might become a Lady. Best regards, Sasha.
Just to let you know that the "tiny" violin was received and everyone is happy with it. Thanks for your quick response and shipping.
I received the violin and my daughter simply loves it. I intend to complete the purchase. Charlie
The violin has arrived and we are very happy with it. We are in the process of setting up a violin rental business an had seen the Gliga website. It was nice to purchase a "sample" of what they make. We are in the process of repairing and setting up a number of old violins for rental but will also be purchasing some new instruments, mostly in fractional sizes. As you appear to be a distributor for Gliga Workshop we would be interested in receiving information on all that you offer for sale. Thanks, The Smith Family
This is good!! It sounds beautiful. The violin maker new the Gliga as soon as we took it out of the case. He spoke of the very deeply carved scroll and how this bold statement is a signature of the Gliga line. He assured us (as we already knew) that this is a very fine European instrument. Hope we keep in contact in the future. Your friends, Carl & Faye Skelonis
I just received the viola. That was fast! I have spent the last hour or so playing the instrument. Just for a frame of reference, I am a flutist, but I currently play viola in a community orchestra ... When I first heard about the student Gems, I was very interested in them because I also teach music in the Fontana Unified School District. I am always on the lookout for better instruments that my students can afford. Like all of the Gligas that I have seen, this viola is made well for the price. I like the sound. It's warm and sweet sounding. I would be very pleased if my students came in with instruments like this. Thanks. Carlton
