Gliga Maestro Lion Head Violin

From my personal collection, for sale is my Gliga Lion Head violin with a bone nut, inlaid fingerboard, fresh Tonica strings, a new ebony chin rest and tail piece, as well as Wittner Fine Tune pegs. Truly a one of a kind instrument that I have loved since 2020, it has a wonderful fiddlers tone - a good balance between punch and warmth, nice projection, and is a work of art in itself. My students and I named this fiddle Sebastian. From Gliga’s description of their Maestro line of violins: “This violin stands out with its intricately carved lion's head scroll, a symbol of strength and elegance. Crafted from carefully selected tonewoods, the instrument offers a rich, resonant sound that meets the demands of advanced musicians and collectors alike. Each Gliga Maestro violin undergoes a meticulous setup to ensure optimal playability and tonal quality. Experience the deep, warm tones and striking visual appeal that make this violin a true work of art. Perfect for the discerning violinist seeking an instrument with character and history. * Hand-Carved Lion's Head Scroll: A carved lion's head replaces the traditional scroll, giving the instrument a unique look. * Double Purfling: Intricate double inlaid purfling frames both the top plate and back, accentuating its contours. * Highly Flamed Tonewoods: Crafted with a tight, straight-grained spruce top and a striking two-piece back made of deeply flamed maple with a pronounced tiger-stripe pattern. * Rich Warm Varnish: Finished in a warm, golden-amber oil varnish that highlights the depth of the wood grain and flame.” Available for $3000, or $3500 as an outfit. Viewing available upon appointment.
