    Violin rosin has been used to draw sound from the violin since the first instruments were carved from wood hundreds of years ago. Historically, rosin has been made from pine resin, a natural substance found in trees. Many different companies manufacture rosin, and each variety tends to have different characteristics that affect the sound -- shading the tone toward bright or dark, and adding varying degrees of "grittiness" to the feel and sound.

   Further, choosing the "right" rosin is largely a matter of personal preference. Although it functions well most of the time, pine resin does have some limitations -- it can crystallize in the cold, damage the varnish if it falls down on the violin, and it sadly often cracks or even shatters rather easily. Also, pine resin is an allergen for some, and can cause sneezing and watery eyes during playing in susceptible people, but also functions as an antiseptic used in antient Greek times.

    The Laubach gold Rosin for Violin and Viola or Cello is the first natural rosin that does not damage the varnish of your stringed instrument. Further, it is not affected by humidity nor does it absorb moisture heavily, which helps it keep its tackiness without cracking in all seasons. But, most importantly, this rosin sounds very nicely -- and, when played, can not be compared to ordinary rosin. Using this gold rosin in your setup, produces a smooth tone without much grit and nice clarity. However, every player has different preferences in feel and sound of rosin.

  As a violin maker, I have noticed that many of my younger customers and musicians enjoy handling and applying rosin to the bow, and so the fact that Laubach gold rosin comes in beautiful red and orange colors with visible and real gold particles gives it a modern look, which almost burns when holding it in front of sunlight that is especially appealing to youngsters and well experienced musicians. Also, young students are more likely to over-apply rosin and also not to wipe the instrument clean as frequently as necessary to prevent ordinary rosin from damaging the finish. Thus, this colorful rosin can also help extend the life of the instrument.

  Violin, viola or cello gold rosin is what makes the bow stick to the string until it slips back in a continual cycle which generates the bowed sound. It is made of colophony - the residue from the distillation of turpentine. It comes in various grades depending on the type of distillation. Pure colophony is far too brittle to use on it's own for violin rosin and makes an unpleasant scratchy sound.

   Therefore it is generally mixed with other substances to modify it's consistency. Most rosin will contain small amounts of oil to plasticize or soften it and sometimes there are additions of alkaline solutions to neutralize the colophony. This is why we only use natural resin ingredients and 100% real gold particles to minimize the hazard of the  build up on the instrument.
