Effective February 1st, Gliga violin outfits will feature a notable upgrade, at no additional cost: the inclusion of OPAL professional-grade strings with all 4/4 and 7/8 instruments.
Developed over a decade by Swiss cellist and technician Curdin Coray, these strings employ innovative materials and meticulous craftsmanship, delivering up to a remarkable 30% improvement in sound quality, as affirmed by independent testing on Gliga instruments.
Already favoured by distinguished musicians in Australia’s premier orchestras, OPAL strings exemplify a new standard in performance. This enhancement, made possible through a special collaboration with OPAL Spanish Head Office and Gliga, allows us to maintain the current outfit/instrument pricing while significantly enhancing their tonal profile.
Each instrument will feature an Opal swing tag and an informational insert, guiding players to authorised Opal Dealers when replacement strings are required.
This thoughtful upgrade ensures Gliga continues to offer exceptional value and uncompromising musicality across Australia.
