16.5" INTERMEDIATE 'GLORIA 1' Viola Outfit
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.

Antiqued 1/10 WORKSHOP \'GEMS 1\' Violin
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.
Que tal somos de México , compramos un violin de 3/4 de la gama intermedio (Order #230770)para mi hijo ya que le pidieron hacer cambio porque aún tocaba con uno de 1/2, lo esperábamos con muchas ansias y nos sorprendió que llegó tal y como lo habías programado en 5 días hábiles, llego con un buen embalaje, si daño alguno, pero al desempacarlo y verlo notamos la diferencia empezando desde el estuche que aunque ligero pero se nota la diferencia entre otros, bien forrado y acolchonado para que el violín no sufra movimientos bruscos al trasladarse con el, que puedo decir del instrumento, el arco en buen estado sin desperfectos con una buena calidad, buena tensión, el tornillo de ajuste de las cerdas excelente, buena curvatura del mismo, del instrumento muy bello su acabado esepcional como lucía en las imágenes y aún mejor de lo que se podía observar en el catálogo de la tienda, del sonido ni que decir ayer lo estuvo probando mi hijo y notamos la calidez de sonido, ni siquiera le había puesto brea al arco y aún así emitía un sonido muy agradable, dulce pero con una profundidad en los tonos, mi hijo se sintió muy a gusto con el ajuste con el que vino de fábrica, le encantó y la verdad que a nosotros también, ya estaremos viendo que con el paso del tiempo y la técnica correcta vaya sacándole provecho al sonido que puede generar este violín. Gracias a Elena Gliga que estuve al pendiente durante todo el proceso de la compra y aún más. Un excelente producto que lo recomiendo. Definitivamente iremos por el siguiente cuando le toque cambio de violín a nuestro hijo. Eso pero que está reseña les sea útil para decidirse a adquirir instrumentos de la marca Gliga que son de alta calidad. Saludos y Dios les bendiga. Andrei Matey, Mérida Yucatán México.
I love listening to instrumental music which can help find deep relaxation and find peace. I played other instruments before but I have not tried the violin yet. I was curious and had many questions about the violin when I bought one at Gigla Violins in Las Vegas. Elena and Cristian were passionately describing about how their products were crafted and I love listening to them. Love it! Gay Lebourg
Dear Elena and Christian Today we got the violin delivered. There is only one word to describe the violin and the experience; "extraordinary". First we are so grateful for your excellent service, the violin is just beautiful, the sound is bright and great projection. I asure this violin will be loved and enjoy for years to come. We will take it with us on our trip and played for 2 weeks, but I am certain we will keep it. Thank you very much for everything Regards Roberto and Niccolo Roman
Violin arrived. Staff were very professional and responsible (Violin s Lover). Thanks! Jose
Hi guys I just got my gems 1 I purchased from you - and I need to tell you - if I had ANY idea how easier it is to play on your violin, I would have bought it two years ago!!!! (When I picked up the violin). For the first year of playing, I was suffering so much to be able to press the strings - until a year ago my teacher FIANALLY asked me to lower the bridge. And today I got your violin - and the bridge is higher than on my old violin - AND YET THE STRINGS are so much easier to press - it is like I'm flying on that finger board. I can not wait - when I complete Suzuki book 3 (I'm toward the end of book 2) - I will save up some money and reward myself by buying the maestro level Guarneri violin - that is what I really want for the future. Now I'm so happy with my Strad. Gems 1. Thanks!!! ....... ohhh I wish I had this violin two years ago ... it would not be painful to practice ......... at least I can appreciate the difference.

The 17 inch Viola arrived today, looks and sounds nice, thank you. Thanks again for handling the purchase for me, with the additional bow and strings, I also like the cute rosin case shaped like a viola; much appreciated. Thank you very much, I've had a happy smile on my face most of the day. I also like the case with hydrometer, better than expected. Have a nice weekend.
