Baroque Viola

OUR BLENDS

Specially formulated for gut strings, the gentle but clean attack and smoother traction allows the string to resonate freely with maximum clarity. Baroque rosin makes a bright, clear sound with a feeling that the bow is quicker on the string and makes it easier to play fast with more clarity. The smoother traction allows the string to be played with more intensity without distortion and also reduce the ‘squeak’ often encountered with using modern rosins on gut.

Leatherwood Rosin's baroque instrument blends are:

• Baroque Violin: Violin with gut strings, treble and small Viols
• Baroque Viola : Viola with gut strings, Tenor Viol and Viola d'Amore
• Baroque cello: Cello with gut strings, Bass viol
• Viola da Gamba: especially formulated for this instrument
• G-Violone: especially formulated for this instrument

Your baroque recipe will generally last 2-5 years with intensive use.
