Nyman Violin Rosin is a professional-quality dark rosin suitable for violins and violas. It gives your bow the grip and control you need for technical and expressive performances. With its dark-coloured, medium-hard composition, Nyman Rosin provides your instrument with a warm and balanced tone. This dark rosin is softer and stickier than its light counterpart, perfect for use in the cooler winter months.
The Nyman-Hart family have been producing rosin in Sweden for generations and has built a reputation for delivering high-quality products trusted by professionals. The rosin comes stored in an airtight container, keeping it fresh and intact for much longer. Rosin oxidises quite quickly when left to the elements, so being able to seal your Nyman Rosin away enormously extends its useful life.
