Pirastro Oliv/Evah Rosin
Dark olive colour. Relatively soft, low dust forming, big sound, good grip with low noise. Well suited for gut strings and Evah Pirazzi strings.
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.
