Pirastro Eva-3173 Violin Rosin Evah Pirazzi Gold, Handcrafted Quality for Professional and Student Violin Players, Premium Rosin Made with Natural Resin for Musicians

Designed to complement the violin string set Evah Pirazzi Gold, characterized by its seductive and inspiring sound, Pirastro has developed a perfectly matching rosin. It brings to the fore the full sound spectrum, powerful projection and excellent bow response of these strings. Evah Pirazzi Gold rosin increases the ease of response in the softer dynamic range, and maximises the ability of the instrument to react to bow impulses during fast, virtuosic playing. It allows powerful contact with the strings, draws out the sound evenly and enables clear articulation without harshness. Even right after the rosin has been applied, the bow will afford the player a smooth, supple and satisfying playing experience. Light rosin features very minor formation of dust, with no residues forming on the bow hair and the strike point of the string. Extraction Natural resin was and still is obtained from pine trees during fall and turpentine oil is the product which is gained through its distillation. Pieces of natural resin are heated up in a boiler in order to evaporate water from it while at the same time impure components within the now liquefied resin slowly sink towards the bottom of the boiler. As a last step, the pure liquid resin is skimmed off and then cooled down. Which Rosin should I use? High quality rosin allows for perfect bowing without scratchy sounds, especially if only a thin layer of rosin is applied. The general rule is: * violinists and violists use a harder, dryer rosin * cellists use a medium strong rosin * bassists a softer rosin Another important aspect for choosing the right rosin is the core material of the string that are being used: * steel strings are easier played if you use a hard, dry rosin * for synthetic, gut and gut wound strings use a softer rosin About Pirastro:
