This is a top-of-the-line violin made by Mr. Gliga in Romania. Made in 2012, with Mr. Gliga's handwritten signature on the label. Although not new, it is in near-mint condition. The back plate is a rare one-piece back, also known as OPB (One Piece Back). These are rarely seen on the market. Currently, similar class instruments are sold at major musical instrument stores for 500,000 to 600,000 yen. The Maestro produces very few instruments per year, and without a doubt, the world's top-grade wood is used in these modern, new violins. In particular, this individual instrument has a back plate made of a single piece of exquisite beauty, elevating the instrument to the realm of art. The meticulous craftsmanship of this instrument extends to the smallest details. The overall tiger-stripe figure, the expression of the carving, etc., will bring you joy just by owning and looking at it. Regarding the tone, it has the deep and sweet mid-low range characteristic of Gliga, but the perfectly balanced overall sound, the wide range of tones, and the wide dynamic range demonstrate the high performance of the stringed instrument. I can only agree that the Gliga Maestro is highly valued in the market. The Maestro model is made to be used for hundreds of years, and its sound will improve with long-term ownership, increasing its value as an instrument. It is a "genuine" instrument that can transcend generations, both modern and old, as time goes by. I hope you understand that it is a newly born instrument at this stage and that you will be able to enjoy it for a long time. ◆Accessories ・Case: Gig Case, rectangular ・Bow: Believed to be a Brazilian wood bow, worth around 30,000 yen. 　　　The hair does not need to be replaced for the time being. ・Rosin: LETO, new ・Shoulder rest: Lightweight resin type, new The price of high-quality European violins continues to rise.
