The Gliga I cello is a highly-regarded instrument designed for advanced students and intermediate players. These cellos are crafted with a higher grade of tonewood, featuring a hand-carved solid spruce top and a book-matched flamed maple back and sides. A hand-applied oil varnish gives the instrument a beautiful, antique appearance and helps to produce its characteristic rich and warm tone. Gliga I cellos are often sold as a complete outfit, including a quality carbon fiber bow and a padded bag.
