Viola Rosin - Leatherwood Concerto
Concerto – The Ultimate Soloist Rosin
Concerto is your luxurious, super-premium rosin for intense soloistic playing. Designed for the soloist, power, focus, and projection are prominent with minimal dust and sound deterioration.
After years of rosin recipe refinement for string players all over the world, the Leatherwood Bespoke Rosin team have worked to create the ultimate rosin recipe for the Concerto Soloist and International Competition Performer.
When performing in these settings, there are even more demands on the rosin, such as projecting the sound to all corners of the concert hall, conveying warmth of sound up close and far away, and ensuring the rosin endures a long performance with minimal deterioration in sound quality right through to the last note!
The result is a rosin that offers a very powerful and clear attack on the string, with the string vibrating at its maximum capability from the very beginning of the bow movement. This rosin improves sound endurance, overall projection, and power, while maintaining a warm undertone.
This rosin is created for:
- Concerto repertoire – late classical period and beyond
- Performance in large concert halls and large-scale concerts
- Performance in International Competitions and Auditions
- Strong projection of clarity, warmth, and nuance of tone colour
- Reducing sound deterioration through rosin build-up
Our rosin makers have spent years refining sound and response characteristics through our Bespoke Range. String players have been able to adjust the Attack, Clarity, Traction, and Texture to suit their playing style.
To create Concerto, we searched, experimented, examined, and found new and unique combinations of resins and waxes. We have worked to maximize the sound potential of this rosin with our partners in Japan, including renowned soloists Mayu Kishima (laureate of Isaac Stern, Cologne, Queen Elizabeth, Wieniawski Competitions) and Minami Yoshida (laureate of Joachim, Sibelius, and Montréal Competitions).
