I play on a German Ch. G. Liebig viola (c. 1780) with Zyex D’Addario strings and must say, that your ‘David’ rosin has made remarkable change in the sound quality, as well as in its loudness. Also, what I found very comfortable for viola player who is playing in several chamber groups, I noticed that the initiation of the sound is far more easier and smoother comparing to other rosins - and thus allowing the player using all spectrum of dynamics without concerning about correct sound quality.

The rosin I am absolutely delighted with is the Vivaldi; it gives great clarity and warmth of tone. Best of all, unlike some rosins I have tried that give a good impression at first but seem to clog the hair with repeated use, this rosin seems to be getting better and better.

Thank you for your wonderful rosin. Selected members of all the string sections used it at rehearsal last night and all were extremely happy and very impressed with the results.
I have a French violin a Barzoni which does not respond immediately to the bow. With the addition of your rosin I have a beautiful tone and immediate response. The orchestra leader has always been happy with any other rosin but now prefers yours.

I was surprised to use ANDREA ROSIN. It produces very beautiful tone. It fits a string very well and it brings out talents of the Cello. I have used many rosins, but I have never seen such a great rosin, fitting a string and a bow. I think the Rosin is matching playing solo, chamber music and orchestra. In all situations, I am satisfied.

I tried Alex rosin. Although some of the sticky rosin is still on the bow, I am amazed at the new rosin which is superb. The clarity of tone for every note is excellent, as is the bright and open sound of the harmonics. I didn’t realize how ‘cloudy’ the sticky rosin made the bass sound and this new one seems to have really opened up the sound and made it brighter.

Some of our orchestra members have tested Andrea rosin (solo violin and cello) and they have told me that they were very satisfied with the result. The rosins have proved to be positive to the sound the musicians are seeking for.

Orchestra Manager, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, UK
I have had some feedback from one of our cellists as follows; ‘I thought the rosin was really good, I used the soloist's one - nice sound and very good grip.’ Other comments I heard were that they players liked the solo rosin for Orchestral playing best.
