Rosin – can it make a difference?
Flash Presentation sponsored by Leatherwood
Sunday, 24th March, 6:30pm-7pm
Can rosin make a difference to your playing? Can it make your instrument sound better? Can it make you play more in tune? Many people say rosin is rosin, and the way to improve your sound is to practice harder (or buy a strad!). This presentation will discuss the significant impact that changes in rosin recipe have on one fundamental principle – the vibration on the string – and therefore your sound, and why string players should choose and test rosin carefully in the process of their instrument optimisation.
