Gliga — hand-carved violins from Transylvania

In the workshops of award-winning luthier Vasile Gliga, every violin, cello and double bass is carved by hand from Carpathian tonewood — spruce and maple grown slow in mountain air.

The result: instruments with a warm, honest voice at prices real families and schools can afford — each one set up and adjusted in our Dubai workshop before it reaches you.

“If you are looking for accessories for your instrument, Music District is the one that you can go to. Especially strings — I had a good time at their string testing workshop with Thomastik and got my new violin strings. 🫶🎻”
