Gliga Violin store is much more than a violin store. It is quite literally a labor of love. The care and attention that goes into the production of these fine instruments is due to the dedication and expert craftsmanship of one of the finest luthiers in the world, Vasile Gliga. Based in Romania, Vasile has decades of experience in the design, hand-crafting and quality testing of violins, violas and cellos.
While we carry only one brand, Gliga, many violin stores obtain their instruments from various sources that may vary in quality. Having only one supplier guarantees a high standard of quality, consistent from an instrument to another and easy comparison. This makes the process of shopping for a violin much easier and clearer.

More about the Gliga Violin Store - Where to Buy a Violin in Vancouver
Our violin shop in Vancouver has been in existence since 2011, known as a specialty store offering hand-made violins. Gliga makes his violins from the resonance spruce and flamed maple found in the "Italian Valley" of the Transylvania forests. Gliga chooses the most dense and homogenous woods from Romania's 150 year old forests that surround the city of Reghin. For those who are new to the violin world, Reghin is to Romania what Cremona is to Italy. These two cities are the place where the greatest violins of the world are born. While Cremona is famous for Antonio Stradivari, Reghin is famous for Vasile Gliga. Gliga is a contemporary violin maker who continues to surprise his followers with the perfection of his craft.
