Gliga is a handmade string instrument maker from Gliga, Romania in Eastern Europe. It is characterized by its careful construction, high-quality materials, and soft tone, and the appeal is that you can enjoy a European-made cello, which is rare at this price. This is a recommended instrument for beginners and those who are new to full-size cellos, and it boasts quality that is superior to other string instruments in the same price range. The bright tone typical of Eastern Europe is pleasant, the sound starts clearly, and the instrument resonates richly and sounds solid. In recent years, due to rising prices in Europe, as well as rising material and labor costs, instruments from Germany, Italy, France, and other countries have all increased in price. It has a luxurious appearance, and of course, the tone is also authentic. The low notes resonate richly, and the overall tone is of high quality. [Remarks] This is an item for the body only. There is some dullness on the body and blackening on the lower part of the top plate. There are no cracks or peeling that would hinder playing. It will be shipped via Sagawa Express (scheduled to be around 240 size). We also accept consultations for hand-delivery within Tokyo (Chofu City).
