Melos Baroque Cello Bass Viol Rosin

Responsive Rosin for Gut Strings

Melos Baroque Cello and Bass Viol Rosin is specially formulated for period instruments fitted with gut strings. Its stickier consistency helps the bow engage gut strings readily, reducing the need for excessive pressure while supporting a clear, controlled response. Designed for Baroque cello and bass viol, this rosin provides the dependable grip needed for nuanced articulation, dynamic flexibility, and historically informed performance.

Melos produces its rosins in small batches using Greek pine resin and other natural ingredients. This Baroque formula is softer and tackier than rosins intended for modern metal or synthetic strings, helping players draw a responsive sound from lower-register period instruments. It is a practical choice for rehearsals, lessons, ensemble playing, continuo work, and performances where reliable bow contact and expressive control are essential.
