4/4 Intermediate Violin - Gliga Gems 1 Elite - Limited Edition - Code D1645V
A Violin That Inspires
Ready to take your violin playing to the next level?
This Gliga Gems 1 Elite - Limited Edition violin is perfect for intermediate players but also an excellent choice for dedicated beginners. This isn't just any student violin - it's a work of art, hand-carved by skilled artisans in Gliga's workshop in Romania.
The secret to its exceptional tone lies in the wood itself. This violin is crafted from flamed maple and resonance spruce sourced from the legendary Carpathian Mountains in Romania. This specific wood is highly sought after by luthiers worldwide for its superior acoustic properties, giving the instrument a rich, beautiful sound.
The violin features a beautiful antique finish that gives it a timeless, classic look. The matching hand-carved maple accessories (tuning pegs, chinrest, tailpiece, and button) complete its elegant aesthetic.
This is a great investment for any student musician. Its superior craftsmanship not only looks stunning but also results in exceptional tone quality, which helps the student develop a deeper understanding of tone production.
This beautiful violin would be a great choice for any of the following musicians:
- violin students moving away from a 3/4 size violin
- intermediate/advanced adult violin students who want to upgrade their current violin and buy a more advanced instrument
- young violin students who want to start their journey on a higher quality instrument
- adult beginner violin students who want to start their journey on a higher quality instrument.
