Vasile Gliga GEMS-1 hand built viola (size 15 or 16") for advanced violists, supplied with Thomastik or D'Addario strings. On request also available in sizes 15", 15.5", 16.5", 17" and 17.5".

Violin maker Vasile Gliga started making violins about 40 years ago and has since expanded his workshop into a company where hundreds of instruments are built every year by self-trained employees.

All instruments are built by hand, where everyone has their specialty for every part of the instrument. As a result, the pricing is very favorable, without the quality being compromised. Gliga uses Carpathian Maple and Pine (dried for 5 years) for the back and sides and the fingerboard, chinrest and tuning pegs are made of imported ebony. The tailpiece with fine tuners is from the well-known German brand Wittner. Gliga offers a very wide range of instruments, all of which are available through Strijkinstrumentshop.nl. The instruments that Strijkinstrumentshop.nl offers from Gliga are the most favorable in terms of price/quality ratio and are usually immediately available.

The viola is finely tuned in the workshop of Strijkinstrumentshop, including a new Despiau comb (4/4 violins), cut by our violin maker. Shipping takes place in special packaging. Delivery of the instrument takes about 3-4 days due to adjustment and settling of the strings.
