Leatherwood Folk Fiddle Rosin
Leatherwood Folk Fiddle Rosin
Their custom rosin recipe for Folk, Fiddle and Bluegrass styles offers a smooth and slightly velvety texture across the string that enhances the colour of melodic playing. There is a clean bite to the string which assists clarity in percussive techniques and ornamentation. The surface noise in this rosin has been decreased to perform well under amplification.
"As I began performing regularly with the O’Connor Band, we found ourselves in about every performance environment and climate possible. It became obvious that I needed to upgrade my old cake of rosin. I was introduced to the beautiful Leatherwood Bespoke rosin and immediately fell in love with the sound I was able to produce and the reliability that it gave me wherever I played my violin.” - Mark O'Connor
SUPPLE BLEND
A warm and softer sound, consistent traction that feels velvety and rich; this recipe maintains a reliably sharp attack on the string.
The supple blend generates a more powerful and focused sound from a softer and lighter bow with less ‘bite’. Supple also enhances the sounds of a deep / warm sounding instrument by making it sound more resonant. Supple can also ‘soften’ an instrument which is too loud, bright or one-dimensional in sound.
CRISP BLEND
A decisive attack, firm traction and crisp sautille; this recipe creates an undeniably forthright sound through a glassier texture.
The crisp blend works well with an instrument with lots of resonance but is a little ‘woolly’ in sound, offering it greater clarity and articulation. Crisp also assists bows or techniques that struggle to achieve a clear and articulate spiccato or sautille. Crisp can also assist small student or cheap instruments, by enhancing their sound to be brighter and sometimes louder; and beginning students find it easier to articulate with crisp.
