This is a Gems 1 Intermediate Level 3/4 violin with case and bow by Gliga (Romanian maker).
I bought this for my daughter but she didn't play it long before a growth spurt made a 4/4 a better fit.
The tapes are pinstripe tape. I love it because it is like post-it notes and doesn't damage the instrument.
I'll leave them on for the next player or can take them off if you prefer.
Our instructor was amazed at the sound of the Gligas. We have 4. Yes, we really like the maker.
Good tone is another reason to buy an Intermediate or above quality instrument for your young student.
Everyone will enjoy the learning process better than starting with a super cheap intro model.
Also included is the Don't Fret I use to put on temporary finger tapes.
