Gliga III 3/4 Violin Complete Starter Pack — Kun Original Shoulder Rest & Hidersine 3V Rosin

The Gliga III 3/4 Complete Starter Pack is the total solution for a student beginning violin — everything needed to walk out the door and start playing, selected by our workshop team for quality and compatibility. Rather than buying components separately and guessing at compatibility, this pack brings together three trusted products that work together perfectly: the Gliga III 3/4 outfit, the Kun Original shoulder rest and Hidersine 3V rosin.

At Angkor Music we set up every Gliga III before dispatch — so this pack arrives ready to play from the first moment. No further adjustments needed. No missing accessories. Nothing left to buy before the first lesson.

Angkor Music — Why We Put This Pack Together

One of the most common things we hear from parents after purchasing a violin outfit is: "The teacher said we also need a shoulder rest and rosin — what should we get?" We put this pack together to answer that question before it is even asked. The Kun Original is the shoulder rest recommended by more violin teachers in Australia than any other. Hidersine 3V is a quality student rosin that applies consistently and lasts well. Together with the Gliga III outfit — which we set up in our workshop before every dispatch — this pack gives a new student everything they need and nothing they don't.

What Is Included in This Pack

The Gliga III 3/4 Violin Outfit — Expert Setup Included

The Gliga III is one of the most trusted student violins in the world — handcrafted in Romania from solid tonewoods with genuine ebony fittings, an Aubert bridge and a Wittner tailpiece with built-in fine tuners. Every Gliga III at Angkor Music is set up in our workshop before dispatch — French Aubert bridge correctly fitted, pegs properly adjusted, strings installed and instrument checked for playability.

  • Solid Spruce Top: Natural resonant tone that improves with playing — solid wood, not plywood.
  • Solid Maple Back, Neck and Sides: Light flame, solid maple throughout.
  • Genuine Ebony Fittings: Ebony fingerboard, pegs and chinrest — not stained hardwood.
  • Inlaid Purfling: Hand inlaid, not painted.
  • French Aubert Bridge: Fitted and adjusted in our workshop.
  • Wittner Tailpiece with Built-in Fine Tuners: Precise, easy tuning on all strings.
  • Opal Strings: Clear and bright response for developing intonation.
  • FPS Brazilwood Bow with Ebony Frog and Horsehair: Reliable student bow correctly sized for 3/4.
  • FPS Dart Case with Backpack Straps: Lightweight, protective, easy to carry to school and lessons.
  • Stradivari Pattern: 3/4 size, hand applied oil antique varnish, made in Romania.

Kun Original Shoulder Rest — 3/4 Size

The Kun Original is the most widely recommended violin shoulder rest in the world — and for good reason. First introduced in the 1970s by Kaspar Kun, the Original established a new standard for shoulder rest design that has been imitated but never surpassed. It is the shoulder rest that more violin teachers in Australia specify by name than any other.

The Kun Original features a curved, adjustable design that fits a wide range of body shapes and playing positions. The feet are tipped with rubber to prevent slipping on the instrument's back, and the central adjustment screw allows the height and angle to be set precisely for each individual player. For a student beginning violin, a properly fitted shoulder rest makes an immediate and significant difference — reducing shoulder tension, improving posture and allowing the left hand to move freely along the fingerboard without the instrument slipping.

  • Original Kun design — the industry standard for over 50 years
  • Adjustable height and angle — fits a wide range of players
  • Rubber-tipped feet — secure grip on the instrument back
  • Lightweight and durable construction
  • Sized for 3/4 violin — correct fit for this instrument
  • Recommended by violin teachers worldwide

Hidersine 3V Rosin — Student Grade

Hidersine is a British company with a history in instrument accessories stretching back well over a century. The Hidersine 3V is their established student grade rosin — a firm, amber rosin that applies consistently, produces a clean, reliable bow grip on the strings and does not cake or flake excessively under student use.

Rosin is essential for bow hair — without rosin the horsehair simply slides across the strings without gripping them. A new bow must be rosined before it will produce any sound at all. The Hidersine 3V provides the right amount of grip for a student player — not so sticky that it creates excess rosin dust, not so dry that the bow loses contact with the string. It is a dependable, well-made student rosin that will last well and perform consistently.

  • Hidersine 3V — trusted student grade rosin
  • Firm amber rosin with consistent application
  • Clean, reliable bow grip across all strings
  • Minimal flaking and dusting under student use
  • Suitable for violin and viola
  • Long lasting — one cake will last many months of regular practice

Why Buy a Pack Rather Than Components Separately

Purchasing the violin outfit, shoulder rest and rosin separately is entirely possible — but buying them as a pack from Angkor Music has three specific advantages:

Compatibility confirmed: The Kun Original in this pack is correctly sized for 3/4 violin. Kun shoulder rests come in multiple sizes and purchasing the wrong one is a very common mistake. This pack eliminates that error entirely.

Everything ready at once: A new student cannot begin their first lesson without rosin on the bow. Parents who purchase the violin outfit and then realise they need to source rosin separately face an avoidable delay. This pack arrives with everything needed.

Expert curation: These three products are not assembled randomly. They are the combination our workshop team recommends to every new violin student — the outfit we trust, the shoulder rest teachers specify, and the rosin that performs reliably without fuss. The thinking has been done for you.

Who This Pack Is For

This pack is designed specifically for:

  • New violin students aged approximately 9 to 11 starting lessons for the first time at 3/4 size
  • Parents who want a complete, ready-to-play solution without having to research and source multiple components
  • Students upgrading from a lower quality instrument to their first properly set up European violin
  • Gift purchases — this pack is a complete, thoughtful gift for a young musician that arrives ready to play

Please Note: As these instruments are handcrafted from natural wood, the colour and grain pattern will vary slightly between individual violins, while maintaining the same high standard of quality. The Gliga III component of this pack is the same instrument as our standalone Gliga III 3/4 listing — expertly set up in our workshop before dispatch.

Understanding Handmade Violin Craftsmanship

The Gliga III is handcrafted in Romania using traditional techniques. Minor cosmetic variations — small surface irregularities in the varnish, slight variation in grain pattern between individual instruments — are the hallmark of authentic handcraft and entirely normal. They do not affect playability, tone or structural integrity in any way. Each instrument is individual, as it should be.
