Melos violin rosin is a hand-crafted rosin made in Thessaloniki, Greece from natural pine resin and colophony. Produced in small batches, it offers a consistent feel, low dust, and a clear, stable response.
Available in Dark and Light formulations, it allows players to adjust bow response based on climate and playing style.
Dark rosin provides strong, reliable grip and a full tone, performing well in cooler or drier conditions and in general use.
Light rosin offers a smoother response with less resistance, often preferred in warmer conditions or for a more fluid feel.
Melos rosins are made from Greek pine resin and formed entirely by hand, with slight variations reflecting the natural materials and process.
A Baroque formulation is also available for players using gut strings or historical setups.
