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 violin blend can also be used for treble viol.
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.
Wrapped with Premium Australian Leather which is sustainably and ethically sourced from Australian farms. This leather is soft and beautiful, with natural marks and blemishes, meaning each small rosin wrap carries its unique pattern and markings. We also welcome the views of those who don’t want to use animal products and offer a linen carry pouch as an alternative.
- “I am already totally hooked on this new rosin! I used the crisp variety for my recording on gut strings... It really made a huge difference to the variety of articulations I was able to achieve, and it helped me to 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!”
