During the last couple of years Leatherwood Bespoke Rosin has taken over the market for premium violin, viola, cello, and double bass rosins. Leatherwood Bespoke Rosin's founder, Andrew Baker, has always been excited by the colours, textures and aromas of the violin-making tradition. Leatherwood Bespoke Rosin evolved out of this passion, offering string instrument players a means to directly inform and shape their rosin experience.
The experience of a rosin is very subjective. Two players will find their experience with one rosin vastly different because, for example, of differing types of bow, strings, bridge, instrument qualities, and even differences in their technique or playing style. The main sound and response characteristics rosin can affect are, Attack, Traction, Texture, and Clarity. Varying these characteristics in your rosin can affect brightness and projection, the amount of surface noise, the depth / warmth or richness of sound, and the overall effectiveness of advanced techniques such as triple stopping, sautille, spiccato and sostenuto.
