yes! i have had a lot of experience. the gligas which i think your talking about come in three models:
gliga 3 is a student-intermediate cello. recommended if you've been playing for more than two years and want a better cello
gliga 2 is slightly more profesional and one should look into buying it at around grade 5-6
gliga 1 is an advanced cello, however it is no match for other professional instruments that you should consider at grade 7-8

Thanks, I am talking to a lady about a romanian cello she has that sold for 3300 dollars and a search for Romanian cellos came up with the Gliga but it turns out to ba a different one after she read the sticker. I did a search on that and came up with nothing. The tag reads "Calin Vultier, Duport Standard, #92068, 2004 Reghin Romania model 295" I don't know anything about the grades you talk about as I played cello many years ago from 1952 to 1959 then didn't play again until 2004. I played in a junior symphony back then but grades of profitiency were never mentioned.

those grades i'm talking about are the Australian Music Examination Board (AMEB) standard grades, however you may not have heard of them if you're not australian.

I am located in Florida. I have heard other people mention different grades but the use of grades are probably newer than when I was playing so many years ago. That is around 50 years ago, boy, how time flys.

It's more likely a function of geography than of time. These things exist in England and certain other English-speaking countries, but if they're here in the United States, they keep themselves well hidden.

Thanks for your reply. You are probably right there about it being location rather than the times. I can't say for sure here in Florida because I haven't been that much in touch where that subject has come up lately. We always asked how long someone has been playing in the past but didn't talk about the division between instruments associated with how long someone has been playing either. It's almost like a ploy of the manufacturers to sell more instruments. There were student instruments then and most parents would buy as cheap as possible to see if their child would go on playing past a "passing interest" then maybe buy a really good one and that would be it. I was fortunant to have mine furnished by the school due to an endowment fund.
Since starting this post I have looked at many other options and still haven't gotten another cello. I even wrote Luis and Clark about a carbon fiber cello and they sent me some information and recordings and I was impressed with them but the money is a little steep for me right now. They want $6500 for theiri cello.

their cello.
