Extremely beautiful and ultra-rare Romanian-made GLIGA 4/4 violin, GLIGA Fecit Anno 2014 Gems 1 High-grade wood with beautiful grain is used, and it is finished with perfect handmade craftsmanship. A popular model among GLIGA violins. Traditional Manufacturing Methods Even now, after the establishment of mass production from the beginning, the manufacturing process is surprisingly done "by hand," faithfully adhering to traditional methods. And that is also GLIGA's greatest characteristic. The top and back plates of the violin need to have their thickness subtly adjusted depending on the location to produce a rich sound. Although the machine technology of mass-production manufacturers has advanced, it is still impossible to perform this delicate work with machines. This is how instruments with beautiful arches that are excellent in strength and rich in sound are born. The varnish, which is a determining factor in the beauty of the instrument, also employs the traditional method of hand-applying alcohol varnish, repeating the application and drying process multiple times to carefully finish it. GLIGA offers two types: a deep-colored antique finish and a modern finish. The scroll carving, which is said to strongly reflect the maker's thoughts, is of course done by hand, one by one. The scroll doesn't greatly affect the sound, but an instrument finished beautifully with attention to such details is proof that even the unseen interior is carefully crafted. - Brand: GLIGA - Model Name: Gems 1 - Year of Manufacture: 2014 - Color: Natural - Case: Included - Condition: Extremely beautiful - Country of Manufacture: Romania
