Metal Components
The ingredient Gold gives the LARICA Metal Rosin an exceptionally 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 colourful tones.
The addition of Meteoric Iron brings forth a powerful and shining tone. Compared to the Gold, the quality of sound is more focused and energetic. This Rosin is favourable for solos because the tone carries well over long distances.
Rosin, with the addition of Tin, in comparison to Gold, gives the instrument a warmer and more concentrated, clear tone. It maintains full, smooth, radiating sound in higher ranges.
Silver, as an addition, gives a brighter tone colour. Its character is rather slender, concentrated and smooth. In higher ranges, it keeps a pleasant sound.
The addition of Copper gives an instrument a warm, graceful and velvety tone. The rosin made with Copper is very supportive for beginning players.
To take full advantage of the high-quality LARICA Metal Rosin, please keep in mind the following:
Before applying the metal rosin for the first time, the bow should be thoroughly cleaned. Apply less rosin to the bow than you usually would, and clean the strings with alcohol from time to time. The bow should also be cleaned with alcohol, but less frequently. In the beginning, too much rosin is often applied to the bow so that it could stick better to the strings. When this happens, the tone may not develop fully.
