Excellent rosin
11 out of 12 found the following review helpful

Pros: Gives a smooth, full sound with lots of clarity and precision but not too dusty or over sticky....Only need two or three licks of rosin and you're ready to go.

Cons: None!

Handmade rosin with super suede bag.
8 out of 9 found the following review helpful

Pros: A superior rosin with excellent adherence. I like the littel suede bag it comes in - much better than a box or tin. The deep golden colour and smell is noticeably attractive compared to some other rosin's. Although a bit pricey, compared to even more expensive rosin, the quality is comparable, so I find it competitively priced for its quality. Handmade, so not just banged out, and it shows. Lovely quality.

Cons: Nothing bad about this rosin. It's excellent.

Other: The soft bag is particularly good for some cellists, as our cases are not securely compartmentalised and so softness near and around our instrument is a real bonus.

Excellent Rosin - professional recommended to us!
5 out of 5 found the following review helpful

Pros: An excellent rosin - works well in most conditions (failed to grip in Church when heating was broken and temperature almost sub zero - I guess any rosin would fail to grip!)

Cons: none

Other: Recommended by the Alberni quartet - a very consistent and excellent Rosin - our quartet has adopted this also.

Could take some getting used to
4 out of 4 found the following review helpful

Pros: Nice pouch to protect it. Really smells like tree resin, and looks good too with the pine tree logo showing through from the cloth. Despite being a light rosin it provides plenty of grip without too many applications, and not much dust.

Cons: More expensive than some, but rosin should last a long time....

Other: This was a bit of a change, having used a dark rosin (AB I think) for many years. Needed some time to 'work out' the old rosin from the bow (I wasn't going to attempt to wash the hair, and a re-hair was not imminent) but after a week or two of moderate playing it had settled in. Took a little while to get used to the different grip, but now very happy with it.

4 out of 4 found the following review helpful

Pros: very smart in posh pouch and silky cloth,i`m very impressed with this rosin, deffinately worth the price, used it first time tonight when practising, instant grip and minute dust fall out.

Cons: N/A

Other: others might see it as somewhat pricey but I think its worth it, instant and very noticeable difference in performance between Melos and my AB rosin Priority delivery was amazing, does as it says on the site, order by 4pm it DOES arrive the next day. Keep up the great service string zone. :)
