Larica Rosin for Viola. Recommended softness: 2 or 3. 3 is softer than 2.
• The GOLD rosin is incredibly balanced; the sound becomes round, full and warm, simultaneously, brightly light, slim and clear in higher ranges.
• There are 2 degrees of hardness for the viola: GOLD II is slightly softer; it alleviates the abrasiveness of the instrument and grades the intonations up. GOLD III, a harder version of rosin, is preferred for solo play.
• The Ingredient Gold Gives The Larica Metal Rosin An Especially Balanced Characteristic. The Tone Is Full, Harmonious, Round, Warm, Voluminous, And At the Same Time, Radiant and Clear. It Is Most Suited To Give The Instrument A Variety Of Colorful Tones.
The LARICA metal rosin is made after the original formula of the LIEBENZELLER metal rosin. Furthermore, the production needs to be more accurate, complex manual work. The rhythmic treatment of the rosin, gained from pure larch resin and different metals, causes the produced sound to become more animated, warmer and brighter than untreated rosin.
Increased sound range, excellent ability of modulation and carrying capacity are attributes of improved sound quality. The individual sound of the instrument is reflected easily; tonal one-sided sound can be compensated. The bow develops an excellent and constant response. Background noises are minimized. Humidity and temperature fluctuations are less consequential; the dust formation is very low.
