Yellow-orange. Full and round sound. Especially suited for "Eudoxa" and "Chorda".
They are made from natural resin extracted from pine trees during fall. The pure resin is heated in a successive stage while oil and other materials are added. This liquid will then be poured into a mould to form the cake of rosin that musicians use for their bow hair. A specific procedure is carefully done to create a particular quality of rosin.
Pirastro offers rosins with different qualities that impact an instrument's bowing technique and sound colour immensely. High-quality rosin allows for perfect bowing without scratchy sounds, mainly if only a thin layer of rosin is applied. For the musician, it is thus essential to carefully choose a rosin that helps him to have an ideal grip on the bow while playing the strings.
Packaging
Each rosin cake is glued onto a soft cloth and then attached to a hard plastic grip. This prevents the fingers of the musician from getting exposed to rosin dust and makes it easier to apply the rosin.
