Gliga II Violin Outfit Antique w/Violino – 1/4

The next step up from the Gliga III, the II series utilises higher grade timber for improved tone and aesthetics. Outfit strings are upgraded to Pirastro Violino and the instrument is supplied in a Hill-style lightweight case.

The Gliga II violin features improved timber, workmanship, and strings, giving the advancing pupil greater freedom of expression.

All timber received into the Gliga workshop is independently graded and allocated to each craftsperson before construction begins. Timber selected for Gliga II instruments shows tighter grain in the spruce for improved resonance, while the maple begins to display attractive flame. Naturally, these higher grades of wood are assigned to more experienced makers, allowing additional care to be taken during the detailed processes of carving and tuning the plates.

The combination of higher-quality tonewood and careful construction gives the Gliga II a more pleasing tone in the hands of the intermediate student. The flamed maple complements the growing accomplishment of the player, while the range of oil finishes and antiquing options allows for individuality and freedom of expression in the recital hall.

Gliga II violins are fitted with Pirastro Violino strings, known for their easy playability and their ability to help players explore a wider range of tone colour compared with entry-level strings. The 1/4 size outfit is completed with the popular TG Hill-style lightweight oblong case and an FPS brazilwood horsehair bow.
