LARICA METAL Rosin for Viola

LARICA Metal Rosin continues the tradition of the famous Liebenzeller Metal Rosin. We use the original formula and manufacturing process. Each step is done by hand and therefore we can guarantee the high quality you have come to expect from Liebenzeller Metal rosins.

By using larch resin, adding metals and our special production process, our rosin produces more lively, warmer and brighter sounds. Depending on the metal addition, each rosin is able to produce a wide differentiation in  sound quality.

To take full advantage of the high quality rosin please keep in mind the following: Before applying the metal rosin for the first time, the bow should be thoroughly cleaned. Apply less rosin to the bow then you normally would and clean the strings with alcohol from time to time. The bow should also be cleaned with alcohol, but less frequently. Often in the beginning, too much rosin is applied to the bow and therefore it does not stick very well to the strings. When this happens, the tone may not develop fully.

• The Gold Rosin is especially well-balanced, warm, powerful, and allows for the "beginning" very differentiated  play.
• Meteoric produced for more clear and bright tone.
• Silver in the rosin makes a very easy response.
• Tin bright clear sound

And the degrees of hardness:

• for violin Grade I and II
• for viola II and III
• for cello III to IV
• for doublebass V and VI

Therefore, we have set the varieties in the hardness II and III for viola. Would you also for viola even softer grade, you can find them under LARICA Rosin for cello.
