Concerto is your luxurious, super-premium rosin for intense soloistic playing. Designed for the soloist, power, focus and projection are prominent with minimal dust and sound deterioration.
After years of rosin recipe refinement for string players all over the world, the Leatherwood Bespoke Rosin team have worked in collaboration with their Japanese partner and Violin Soloist, Hiroaki Yura, to create the ultimate rosin recipe for the Soloist and International Competition Performer.
When performing in these settings, there are even more demands on the rosin such as projecting the sound to all corners of the concert hall, conveying warmth of sound up close and far away, the ability of the rosin to endure a long performance with minimal change to the sound quality right to the last note!
This rosin is created for:
- Concerto repertoire - late classical period and beyond
- Performance in large concert halls and large scale concerts
- Performance in International Competitions and Auditions
- Strong projection of clarity, warmth, and nuance of tone colour
- Reducing sound deterioration through rosin build up
How is Concerto different to other Leatherwood Bespoke Rosin recipes?
Our rosin makers have spent years refining sound and response characteristics through our Bespoke Range, string players have been able to adjust the Attack, Clarity, Traction, Texture to suit their playing.
To create Concerto, we searched, experimented, examined, and found new and unique combination of resins and waxes. We have worked to maximise the sound potential of this rosin with renowned soloists including Mayu Kishima (laureate Isaac Stern,Cologne, Queen Elizabeth, Wieniawski Competitions) and Minami Yoshida (laureate of Joachim, Sibelius and Montréal Competitions.
The result is a rosin that offers a very powerful and clear initial attack on the string, so the string begins vibrating at its maximum capability from the beginning of the bow movement. This recipe improves sound endurance, overall projection, power, with a warm undertone.
Concerto rosin deserves no less than the most luxurious materials, craftsmanship and presentation:
Wood: Yakisugi - Australian Cypress Pine
Leather: Deep Charcoal Premium Australian Leather

Playing on Leatherwood Bespoke Rosin is like adding another dimension and colour to the sound. I have never found a rosin that could do this before now. Depending on the sound you are searching for, each rosin provides a different nuance and colour to your sound. My favourite is the supple because it adds thickness, projection and a warm colour. I would highly recommend Leatherwood Bespoke Rosin to all of my colleagues and students.

Through hours of practise and rehearsal, we strive to refine our sound to the most specific nuance. With the customised recipes from Leatherwood Bespoke Rosin, we can finally enhance the tonal qualities of our instruments as we desire, in concert halls around the world with differing climates and acoustics! We now have a stronger ability to blend our sounds and allow our music making to flourish to it's greatest potential. Thank you Leatherwood Bespoke Rosin!

For several years I have been playing with a personally customised rosin recipe from Leatherwood Bespoke Rosin on my bows. This rosin absolutely overwhelmed me: the responsiveness of the contact point, which goes hand in hand with an enormous intensity and sound density, the carrying capacity of the sound and above all the design options are really on a unique level. The fact that problematic contact point zones are easier to control makes it easier for me to implement many colors and ideas on my instrument. A nice bonus is that the rosin hardly produces any dust and it really lasts a long time. I have recommended Leatherwood to many friends and colleagues who are now enthusiastically using Leatherwood as it minimizes many problems and creates new opportunities for them too. I urge everyone to try the different Leatherwood recipes, because with them you can find a partner for your musical life. I found mine in the 65% Crisp / 35% Supple.

Your input is very much appreciated. Share it with your friends so they can enjoy it too!
The item itself is excellent and packaged well. But there was confusion with delivery. The deliver company sent notification of delivered purchase d on day before the real delivery and didn't provide prove photo to whom my purchase was handed out.This situation made me stressed of two days before I finally got my item.
Having struggled with various rosins as a first year violin student, I have been very satisfied to find an outstanding solution with Leatherwood Rosin. I chose the 75% Crisp and have found that it not only resolved my issues with rosin, but is simply a pleasure to use every day. Even as a novice, I can recognize the purity and consistence in application. Thanks!
