The Gliga II cello's improved timber and workmanship allows the advancing pupil a new freedom of expression

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 the maple begins to exhibit attractive flame. 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 flamed maple befits the increasing accomplishment of the player, and the variety of oil finishes and antiquing offered allows for freedom of expression and individuality in the recital hall.

Like all Gliga instruments the fittings are of the highest quality. The solid ebony fingerboard and pegs are carefully shaped and fitted to each instrument. A Wittner Ultralight tailpiece is anchored to the sturdy ebony endpin with adjustable spike, and an aged maple bridge is included with the instrument.

Outfit includes Opal Titan Strings, an FPS Professional padded bag and the Articul II Fibreglass bow.
