Glad to hear this. I just ordered their signature series rosin and am really excited to try it,. I don't see it mentioned a ton, so I was starting to wonder if I missed out on something.
I just purchased the Sartory rosin, but didn’t get a chance to try it yet. I actually hadn’t heard of most of these, but I’m so low intermediate that I didn’t pay attention to baker’s rosin, which I had heard of from you..😉
I wonder if there is any health concerns with breathing rosin dust, especially when it's right next to your face. I imagine that the rosin manufacturers don't list all the ingredients, so I'm hoping they're not putting anything in their product that could cause long-term respiratory issues.
Mark Kulyas Unless you severely over rosin your bow I don’t think it’s an issue. I have seasonal allergies and have never had any issues using rosin. I also only use a swipe or two before I practice and wipe down the instrument and strings after every playing session. As far as dangerous items, many pretty much only have sap or other natural ingredients in their recipes but you can always narrow down what you use as you wish (i.e. no gold flakes in the cake). Edited to add they do make hypoallergenic rosin in case you are allergic to your typical rosin.
@@lunarbutterfly7 Thanks for the info, I'm a beginner and the reason I asked is because I could feel and taste that I was breathing it. Maybe I'm putting to much on. Thanks.
I’m going to assume that these rosins are expensive, as that last Magic student rosin was $16. Jade is only $11. Premium gold rosin $13. Basic quality rosin $4. Laubach doesn’t seem to even what they’re charging, and way too much story buildup. Not really into snake oil. Just because professional violinists can spend so much on bows and violins, why should they have to be dollar’d to death with rosin exotica. I would have been on board with the bakers Rosin concept at $25-30 if I was a pro, but the landscape is seeming a little crazy now if any of these maker’s are asking $35 and beyond ..🤔

I have tried at least 26 rosins over my 65 years of playing. The rosin I'm using now is Cecilia Sanctus. It is fantastic!

Hey Gary, im sure you tried the other cecilia "solo" rosin, could u tell me a little bit the difference between this one and sanctus ?
@@JacquesLuu The Sanctus has a little more bite, clarity, depth, and volume.
I have the Cecilia-rosin and I like it so much 👍
I recently purchased for the Guillaume rosin, i going to try when I rehair my bow, I hope u can update new videos
Great review! Did you try Bella Rosins? They are from New York, I like the Concerto very much!
Thanks for your top picks. Guillaume (French for "William"): pronounced with hard 'G' as in 'go', so say "Geeyome".
Thanks! 😁
I love your videos. Do you know the Larica Gold rosin? What do you think about it?
Andrea solo is really good its been renamed cecilia
It’s too sticky in my opinion.
@@Violinista ok
The CECILIA ROSINs are my favorites now
@@thomasre6451 i like Cecilia rosin too

Melos is made from fresh sap, like the Bakers rosin.
You should try sartory rosin

How do you go about trying to get the first two rosins you featured? Where do I find them?
I posted a dedicated video to those rosins please go check it out. There is all the info. th-cam.com/video/ZLzvApa7uOI/w-d-xo.html

A violinist who doesn’t know how to pronounce Guillaume is suspicious to me, given that he is one of the most famous violin makers of all time.
by now, i am sure she has smacked herself on the forehead and yelled "of course!" a few times. ;o)
