Melos Viola Rosin

Melos offers a range of handcrafted viola rosins, each tailored to specific playing conditions and styles:

• Melos Light Viola Rosin: Ideal for warm climates or summer use, this rosin provides a smooth, silky tone with moderate grip, making it suitable for solo performances and chamber music.

• Melos Dark Viola Rosin: Designed for cooler temperatures or winter seasons, it offers a stronger grip, producing a full-bodied, rich tone. This rosin is favored for orchestral settings and powerful solo performances.

• Melos Baroque Viola Rosin: Specifically formulated for period instruments with gut strings, it delivers a warm, balanced sound across all bowing techniques. Its stickier composition aids in producing clear tones without unexpected noises or dust, making it an excellent choice for historical performance practices.

Each Melos rosin is 100% handmade in Greece from high-quality Greek pine-tree resin, ensuring freshness and purity without any chemicals or fillers.
