Gliga II Violin Outfit – 1 Piece Birdseye Maple Back with Opal Gold Strings and Case

A unique twist on the popular Gliga II model – the beautiful birdseye figure on the one piece maple back is sure to turn heads All timber received into the Gliga workshop is independently graded and allocated to each craftsperson before building begins. Wood that is graded for Gliga II instruments starts to show tighter grain on the spruce for better resonance, and for this Roadshow model birdseye figured maple has been specially sourced. Naturally the better grades of wood are given to more experienced makers, so more attention can be given to the careful processes of carving and tuning the plates. The combination of better tone wood and extra care in construction gives the Gliga II a more pleasing tone when put into the hands of the intermediate student. The one piece birdseye maple adds a level of prestige that is a step above the normal in this level of instrument. The Opal Gold strings chosen for Gliga II violins are known for their easy playability that allows players to explore a wider range of tone colour compared with entry level strings. Outfits are rounded out with the popular TG Hill-style lightweight oblong case and full size outfits receive an Articul II fibreglass bow (fractional sizes supplied with the FPS brazilwood horsehair bow).
