Bespoke Range - Violin Rosin

A warm and softer sound, consistent traction that feels velvety and rich; this recipe maintains a reliably sharp attack on the string.

The supple blend generates a more powerful and focused sound from a softer and lighter bow with less ‘bite’. Supple also enhances the sounds of a deep / warm sounding instrument by making it sound more resonant. Supple can also ‘soften’ an instrument which is too loud, bright or one-dimensional in sound.

What Our Customers Think

"It has more depth, integrity, more sonorous, more body."

"Gentle. Entices me to play more Mozarty!"

"It feels smoother than my original rosin. Subtle. I like it a lot."

"It's good for sustained long bows…nice for soft playing"

"Warm, yet clear! Much easier to control tone and dynamics!"

"Gives the softer and lighter bow more articulation and focus!"

A decisive attack, firm traction and crisp sautille; this recipe creates an undeniably forthright sound through a glassier texture.

The crisp blend works well with an instrument with lots of resonance but is a little ‘woolly’ in sound, offering it greater clarity and articulation. Crisp also assists bows or techniques that struggle to achieve a clear and articulate spiccato or sautille. Crisp can also assist small student or cheap instruments, by enhancing their sound to be brighter and sometimes louder; and beginning students find it easier to articulate with crisp.

What Our Customers Think

"A big sound compared to other rosins…more dramatic…that’s your Carmen fantasy rosin!"

"It's giving my violin more sound. Quite attacky, plenty of crispness, very good grip!"

"It grips the string better! I didn’t have to have so much control over the bow"

"It has more of a glassy texture, a gutsy sound. There's more control with this one"

"It has a very different connection to the string than the usual rosin. Velvety, gliding, but clearly connecting. It’s smooth across string, there's no feeling of 'pot holes' or grittiness.” – violist
