Vasile Gliga founded his Violin making company in Romania in 1991 and in 2016, Gliga celebrated its 25th anniversary. Gliga is not only one of the most successful family owned businesses in Romania, it is one of the most respected manufacturers of Orchestral String Instruments in the world today.
When Gliga began in 1991, every Violin was either built by Vasile Gliga or his wife Elena who had trained as Luthiers in the Romanian Government’s Instrument Factory in Reghin. During those fledgling days it took around 300 hours to handcraft a Violin which meant that only two Violins could be produced every month – a stark contrast to today’s output where 3,000 or more Orchestral String Instruments are built by Gliga’s Luthiers every month!
Gliga make Violins, Violas, Cellos and Double Basses. Gliga’s vision is to produce quality instruments at price that everyone can afford. As such, there are instruments available for players at different stages of their careers from beginners to advanced players to professionals.
Every Gliga Instrument that we sell has been professionally setup with quality strings and bridges.
