Hill Brand Light or Dark Rosin, considered by many as the ultimate rosin, is used by professionals worldwide. From the legendary house in England, the most sold rosin in the world. The Hill Brand rosins are wrapped in their padded velveteen shell with foam cover and a tie string to a button. This is the rosin that others strive to emulate. It can be used for violin/viola/cello.
History of Hill Rosins
In the early 1980s, the well-established British rosin makers, The Hidersine Company, were commissioned to manufacture bowed instrument rosin for W.E.Hill & Sons. These rosins are still manufactured to the same special recipe today by Hidersine, using a unique blend of oils and resins, appropriately setting it apart from the more common blends of beeswax used by other brands. Hill Rosins are still widely used by professionals, with availability from specialists in most countries across the globe.
Light (amber) is slightly hard and has moderate powder.
The dark (green) is slightly softer and grips better than the amber.
