Gold colour. A slightly harder rosin mixed with gold dust; for general use.
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.
Based upon the core performance requirements found in the 1V and 3V rosins, the 12V Junior has been designed to fit into any violin case, be handled by anyone of any age, and survive any environment too. Just remove the lid, grip the sides gently and apply to the bow.
By choosing this bespoke blend with 75% crisp, you can optimise your sound’s brightness, clarity, warmth and richness and vary the strength of the initial attack on the string.
