Because Melos rosins are made from Greek pine resin and other natural ingredients in small batches, it is always fresh.
Melos Baroque Violin Treble Viol Rosin is superb for use with period instruments using gut strings.
This Baroque rosin has a greater stickiness compared to the rosin used in modern versions.
Melos founder Christos Sykiotis, himself a cellist, explains it this way, "The gut string sounds not easy as a metallic string. We shouldn't press the bow in order to play so we need a stickier rosin to play easy."
Melos Baroque Violin Treble Viol Rosin is formulated for Baroque Violin.
