Leatherwood Baroque Viola Rosin gives gut strings a bright, clear sound with smooth traction and clean attack, reducing squeak and allowing for fast, articulate playing. Perfect for baroque viola, tenor viol, and viola d’amore.
Leatherwood Baroque Viola Rosin is expertly crafted for gut strings, offering a gentle yet clean attack and smooth traction for maximum clarity and resonance. This specialised blend enables your string to vibrate freely, resulting in a bright, clear tone and a responsive feel that makes fast playing easier and more defined.

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!”
