Melos viola 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 stable response suited to the viola’s tonal range.
Available in Light and Dark formulations, it allows players to adjust bow response based on climate, instrument setup, and playing style.
Light rosin provides a smoother, more fluid response, often preferred in warmer conditions.
Dark rosin offers stronger grip and a fuller tone, performing reliably in cooler or drier environments.
Melos rosins are made from Greek pine resin and formed entirely by hand, with slight variations reflecting the natural materials and process.
