2004 |ROM| Adj & Upgr Gliga Genial 3/4 Violin | Flamed Back | Dominant Strings | Brazilwood Bow

Listed for sale is my 2004 Gliga Genial 3/4 violin. This is suitable for intermediate enthusiast who's looking for a quality setup Romanian violin.

This is an intermediate level violin, handcrafted in the Gliga workshop in Romania, comprising of the desirable native tonewood; tight grained Romanian spruce top, 2pc Romanian flamed maple back, maple ribs, maple scroll, ebony board and fittings. It is finished with a warm golden brown oil varnish, giving it both an appealing appearance and unique tonal character.

The setup consists of a quality maple bridge, optimized by myself to standard specs, an English tailpiece with two German fine tuners, natural ebony chinrest and pegs, and a quality spruce sound post, which has been readjusted underneath the bridge to increase projection. Additionally, the nut height was remeasured and recut for comfort and agility.

This violin is paired with a Thomastik Dominant strings, known for warmth and rich overtones. The tone is clear, strong, and moderate warm with plenty of projection. The lower registry packs plenty of resonance while the upper registry sings sweetly with strength. This violin is responsive, comfortable, and extremely fun to play.

The condition is like new, with no wear and tear and little to none cosmetic flaws. This will come with a durable black Kyoto case with a hygrometer and a Brazilwood bow of excellent quality.

*****************************************

What do adjusted and upgraded mean?

For appearance: physical components are replaced such as pegs, tailpiece, chinrest and etc.

For tonal improvement: new bridge cut, bridge tuning, new sound post measured, cut, and repositioned, and new strings replaced. The effort and time spent to improve these structural changes will significantly enhance tonal quality.

For comfort: nut height, strings spacing and strings height will be remeasured and recut. Sometimes the neck needs to be shaven thinner. Fingerboard sometimes needs re-planing.

*** A final inspection will be thoroughly given prior to shipping. All necessary compounds will be applied to prevent future slippage and stickiness, and to reduce strings friction. This is to ensure a peace of mind.

All of my instruments have been stored in a controlled room with the correct humidity and temperature. All have been treated with care. ***
