The Melos Baroque Violin Treble Viol Rosin is designed for use with Baroque violins.
Because Melos rosins are made from Greek pine resin and other natural ingredients in small batches, it is always fresh.
Melos Baroque Violin Treble Viol Rosin is superb for use with period instruments using gut strings.
Melos founder Christos Sykiotis, himself a cellist, explains it this way, "The gut string sounds not easy as a metallic string. We shouldn't press the bow in order to play so we need a stickier rosin to play easy."
This Baroque version rosin is stickier than rosin for their modern counterparts.
