As a darker rosin with a slightly softer constitution than many alternatives, AB’s rosin is designed to deliver good levels of smooth traction with a medium-rated Grip Profile of 5 (GPR#5). Therefore, AB rosin can be chosen by any standard of musician but can be considered perfectly suitable for beginners up to early conservatoire players.
The cello rosin is slightly softer than the violin counterpart.
Wrapped in soft cloth with a ribbon tie, AB rosin retains a traditional aesthetic and can be easily un-tied and re-tied and placed safely within your instrument case (blue cloth for violin & viola, green cloth for Cello).
Made to the same recipe as set out by Amy Birch decades ago, AB Violin and Cello rosins are lovingly made in England using a time-honoured Artisanal process of hand-mixing and hand-pouring.

Smooth and low dust.
Pros: Easy to apply, bowing feels "smoother", less dust flying to clean up afterwards.
Cons: Not in a box, but then I suppose that would cost more and create more plastic pollution, so I use a cut out kitchen roll tube to protect it from being bashed about inside cello case.

Pros: Improves the tone of my violin
Cons: I still can't figure out how I'm supposed to wrap it in the kit supplied. What is the elastic and the metal tab attached to the blue covering cloth supposed to do? How am I supposed to wrap my rosin. Seemed a bit complicated! I would really like to know, so would appreciate an email update. Thank you
