Melos rosin, made from the finest Greek pine-tree colophony without chemicals, is highly regarded by top musicians like Demenga, Fischer, Isserlis, and Starker.
If you're a musician who demands the best, you must try Melos, Baroque Cello & Bass Viol Rosin. Melos Baroque Cello Bass Viol Rosin is an excellent choice for those who use period instruments with gut strings. This Baroque version is stickier and more suitable for these instruments than modern rosin.
Melos founder Christos Sykiotis, himself a cellist, explains it this way: "The gut string sounds more challenging than a metallic string. We shouldn't press the bow to play, so we need a stickier rosin to play easily. Melos rosins are made in small batches from Greek pine resin and other natural ingredients."
