Melos Light Viola Rosin

MELOS ROSINS have been tested to ensure effective performance in any condition, for every type of instrument. Specifically designed for violin, viola, cello, and bass, these rosins come in two variations: "light" and "dark". The "light" type is ideal for use in warmer temperatures (such as spring or summer), creating a smooth playing experience perfect for chamber music solos. On the other hand, the "dark" type is more suitable for colder temperatures (like autumn or winter), producing a rich, full tone that is excellent for orchestral performances or solo concerts.

In addition to temperature considerations, musicians can also select a rosin based on their specific right hand characteristics and bow technique. For cellists seeking a unique option, MELOS offers a special "sticky" Rosin that is softer and provides a stronger grip on the strings compared to the standard "dark" Rosin.

One of the key benefits of using MELOS ROSIN is the ability to mix different types to achieve desired results. For example, a violinist can combine a violin MELOS "light" or "dark" rosin with a viola MELOS "light" or "dark" rosin to tailor the sound to their preferences. By adjusting the hardness or softness of the cake, musicians can achieve a warm, full, high-quality sound that meets their exact needs.

For viola bows specifically, MELOS ROSINS are optimized for performance. The hard rosin is recommended for warmer months, providing a smoother playing experience. Made from Greek pine-tree colophony, this rosin can be mixed with the "dark" variation for optimal playability.
