This Baroque version rosin is stickier than rosin for their modern counterparts.
Melos Baroque Violin Treble Viol Rosin is superb for use with period instruments using gut strings.
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 rosins, crafted from Greek pine resin and various natural components in small quantities, maintain their freshness consistently.
Melos Baroque Violin Treble Viol Rosin is formulated for Baroque Violin.
