Pirastro Evah Pirazzi Gold Rosin for Violin & Viola - Handmade in Germany
Specifically developed to match perfectly with the seductive and inspiring sound of our Evah Pirazzi Gold sets, the Evah Pirazzi Gold rosin brings forth the full sound spectrum, powerful projection, and excellent bow response of these strings.
Evah Pirazzi Gold rosin increases the ease of bow response in the softer dynamic range and maximizes the instrument‘s ability to react to bow pulses during fast and virtuoso playing. The rosin‘s powerful contact with the strings allows the player to draw out the sound evenly and enable clear articulation without harshness. A smooth, supple, and satisfying playing experience is also provided as soon as the rosin is applied.
The Evah Pirazzi Gold rosin distinguishes itself by creating only a minor formation of dust with no residue forming on the bow hair or the strings point of contact.
We advise that you apply this rosin sparingly to achieve optimal results. You may find that you need to use much less than other types of rosin.
Which Rosin should I use?
|
High quality rosin allows for perfect bowing without scratchy sounds, especially if only a thin layer of rosin is applied. The general rule is:
Another important aspect for choosing the right rosin is the core material of the string that are being used:
-
steel strings are easier played if you use a hard, dry rosin
-
for synthetic, gut and gut wound strings use a softer rosin
Moreover, experienced players prefer softer rosin when playing in a studio and harder rosin in a concert hall. Hard rosin works best in tropical climates while soft rosin is good for cold climates.
We develop our own specific rosin and design it according the technical requirements of our different string lines. That is also the reason why we name our rosin after the brand names of our violin and viola string lines.
How to use Rosin
Rosin should be used regularly though sparingly. As a general rule, it is enough to coat the bow once during any practice period. Be careful to apply rosin evenly across the whole length of the bow. This will ensure a good response when played at the frog and tip-end of the bow. Take care that your fingers don't get covered with rosin and use the cloth provided with all PIRASTRO rosins.
