The baroque viola blend can also be used for tenor viol and viola d’amore.
• Specially formulated for gut strings
• A bright, clear sound
• Reduce the squeaking often encountered using modern rosins on the gut
• Smoother traction permits the string to resonate freely with maximum clarity
• Allows the string to be played more intensely without distortion
Leathwood’s Baroque Blends have been specially formulated for gut strings to provide a gentle but clean attack with smooth traction that permits the string to resonate freely with maximum clarity.
The baroque viola blend can also be used for tenor viol and viola d’amore.
Baroque rosin makes a bright, clear sound with a feeling that the bow is quicker on the string and makes it easier to play fast with more clarity. The smoother traction allows the string to be played more intensely without distortion, reducing the ‘squeak’ often encountered using modern rosins on the gut.
Baroque instrument testimonials:
- “I am already totally hooked on this new rosin! I used the crisp variety for my recording on gut strings... It made a huge difference to the variety of articulations I could achieve and helped me produce a gorgeous tone for the microphones... you have changed my life!”
- “I was surprised by the first stroke, in which I can feel the hair “connects” tightly with the strings, and this proximity helps the strings to vibrate quite differently - better than before...I feel the sound is more focused and deeper than before. A very enjoyable experience playing with LBR; thank you!”
