It offers smooth, scratch-free playability for violinists and other string players, with the flexibility to mix with darker rosins for customized sound and grip.

## Description

MELOS ROSINS are tested to "function" effectively under any condition, for every single instrument. Especially, violin, viola, cello and bass rosins, are produced in two types, "light" & "dark". The "light" type is used more in high temperatures (spring or summer), for "smooth" playing or for solo in chamber music. The "dark" type is used more in low temperatures (autumn or winter), for full-tone playing, in an orchestra, or for great solo concerts. One can also choose based on his/her right hands’ peculiarities and bow technique. Specifically for cello, on musicians’ demand, we produce MELOS “sticky” Rosin. This product is softer and “bites” the strings stronger than MELOS “dark” Rosin. Mix it! A powerful effect of MELOS ROSIN The musician can mix different types of rosins to have the results he/she really wish. For example, a violin player can mix a violin MELOS “light” or “dark” rosin with a viola MELOS “light” or “dark” rosin. So, according to the hardness or softness of the cake, using MELOS ROSIN, musicians can have exactly what they really need, a warm, full, high quality sound.

Review: Love the rosin, don't like the new cork packaging - I've been using Melos rosin, both light and dark, for 6 or 7 years now and it works well. Smooth, good sound from my fiddles, and not too expensive. A nice step up from cheap rosin. It used to come in a cloth wrap. Now it comes in a fitted cork case, which at first I thought would be good - more protective, etc. But the cork case makes it significantly larger and it takes up a lot more room in the tiny compartment in my double case. Plus, it seems more difficult to apply while holding the cork.
Review: Great natural rosin - Just recently bought this rosin since the weather is finally warming up around here. During the colder winter months, I used the dark version and it gripped wonderfully but now that the weather is warming up, it gets a bit too grippy and that causes some screeches and scratches. The switch to this rosin fixes that right up and stops the scratchiness. There is a light build up of dust of the body, but then again I really work my rosin into the bow and wipe the excess off. Comes with that Melos rosin smell that can take some getting used to! Melos uses freshly tapped sap from living, no by-products! A big plus in my book. Some people may complain about the price, but then again think about how much you spend on strings and your violin. Strings alone can cost $50 or more and last 3-6 months usually. This rosin for $20 can last a year+ Should you really complain about the price after thinking about that?

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unique and superior rosin
*by F***T on June 19, 2016*

Since, ahem, 1958 (!!) I've used lots and lots of rosins, some still on the market, others long gone but well remembered. Melos Light is one of the very best I've used. It's a pale yellow color and has a lovely fresh piney aroma. It is softer and a bit tackier than many light rosins such as Pirastro Gold, Hidersine, Bernardel, etc and grips well on all kinds of string; I use it all year on the US east coast, where the humidity is high much of the year. In very cold, dry weather there are a couple of dark rosins I'll use. Many light rosins generate very fine, dry white powder, whereas Melos generates a somewhat looser, fluffy powder. A little of this rosin goes a long way, and, as other reviewers note, you will get a lot of powder if you overload the bow. Great rosin!
