050 Rosin Kontrabass-Kolophonium Dark Formula

Rosin is an essential piece of gear for a string player -without that, no sound can be made. It is a tool, not less necessary than one’s bow and instrument, not a luxury good. And, as any other professional tool, it needs to be of high quality and reasonably priced.

The philosophy at 050 Rosins is exactly this: offering a piece of gear that is of top quality, sturdy and reliable, without frills and affordable. No fancy wraps, no convoluted packaging, no romanticised backstories: only pure quality and reliability for the professional musician.

050 Dark Formula – This rosin contains a special ingredient which gives it its unique texture and feel. While this rosin feels less sticky when applied, it is as powerful and grabs as good as our Soft blend (if not more), a smooth feel, especially during the hotter months – this rosin will behave very well even when temperatures hit the ceiling, without the risk of becoming too runny. Even after multiple strokes the sound remains clean, with little to no background noise. Sound wise, compared to its “sisters”, this blend enhances even more the low-mid overtones, resulting in a warm, vibrant, smooth and clear tone which will work perfectly both in solo and orchestral playing.
