Pirastro Cellisto cello Rosin is softer and stickier than the standard Pirastro cello rosin. It is the more popular of the two and used not only for Pirastro cello strings but for any brand.  It is a high quality rosin with a soft cherry red colour presented on a solid base with a cloth. Rosin impacts the bowing technique and the sound colour of an instrument immensely and it is important that a rosin is carefully chosen.

If you're new to rosin, here's a quick guide. String players often carry more than one type of rosin, depending on various factors like the stings they have on different instruments, where they're playing and – believe it or not – the weather conditions! High quality rosin allows for bowing without scratchy sounds, especially if only a thin layer of rosin is applied. We have sold rosin for over 30 years and we are often asked which rosin should I use? Here's what our thought process always is….

Question 2 – What is the core material of the string on the instrumet?
– A harder rosin is often preferred when playing with steel core strings.
– A softer rosin is often preferred when playing synthetic, gut and gut wound strings

Question 3 – Where is the musician playing?
– A harder rosin is often preferred when playing in a concert hall.
– A softer rosin is often preferred when playing in a studio.

Question 4 – What  weather changes.
– A harder rosin is often preferred when it's hot weather.
– A softer rosin is often preferred when it's cold weather.
