The Sanctus rosin is designed to enhance the sound of stringed instruments by offering a greater range of possibilities. This innovative product combines two advanced rosin formulas to balance sound and bow control perfectly. The two formulas are placed in separate areas of a single rosin cake to demonstrate their roles.
The outer ring formula has been designed to give a silky smooth playing feel and to produce a focused sound on the strings. The centre formula responds and kicks in when the player demands more power and gutsiness from their instrument. Combined, these formulas’ sound is more focused with enhanced tonal strength. Ultimately, it stimulates your musical mind to explore the endless possibilities in your sound.
Two different formulas for different playing needs are the outer ring for smoothness and focus and the softer centre for power and gutsiness.
