Handcrafted in France, Gustave Bernardel Rosin remains a trusted choice for advancing and professional string players. It is still crafted to its original specifications - handmade from the 'galipot' (first sap of the tree) from high quality pine trees. It is a light amber, medium-grip rosin that offers a smooth feel under the bow with a clear, vibrant tone and very little dust. Suitable for violin, viola, and cello, it performs consistently in all climates. Each cake is mounted on a soft suede cloth and tucked inside a pouch for lasting protection and elegance.
