Each rosin type is especially designed for that specific instrument and season, softer dark for winter and harder light for summer. Because it is made when we place the order it is always fresh and is 100% handmade. High quality Melos rosin, made of Greek pine-tree colophony, is produced by Sykiotis in Greece.

My cello teacher and I like the dark rosin now attached to the cork container. It will keep it from cracking with use.

This rosin was absolutely perfect. It had the grip I wanted for the winter months. It provided a smooth buttery sound and responded very quickly to the string. Very smooth bow stroke. Unfortunately, like most Rosins would, it broke after accidentally sitting on it. I am 100% buying it again

I liked the smell, the fineness of the powder, the grip on the string, overall cleanliness, in short, everything!

Great product, but fragile. Do not drop this.

It is, as advertised, soft and easy to put on the strings. I have been using it for a few months now and think it will last at least three more months. Not cheap but worth it.

Not my favorite rosin, but after three years this is the one cake I've never managed to break/lose. Maybe there's something to that.

I gave this product four stars was for a few reasons. I thought I had bought the dark rosin which it does say in my recent purchases but upon further inspection, I realized this was a LIGHT rosin ( Be Weary Of Which Rosin You Received ) and not dark. I had been wondering as to why my bow wasn't gripping my cello as well as I had hoped it would. I only recently discovered this little mishap but it actually worked fairly decent. It gave my cello a smoother sound and a more fluent bow control, but since this was a LIGHT Rosin, I had to apply more rosin to my bow than necessary which caused dust to fly everywhere. And as I was playing I could smell a sort of burnt wood smell which wasn't a big problem but I can't say the same for my stand partner :P. I wish I had the opportunity to try out the dark rosin but overall it wasn't horrible experience. I was able to produce a good sound for all three of my concerts and that's the important part. Best wishes to everyone!P.S. A word of caution to people who are careless as me, this is a caked rosin so it is prone to breaking very easily. Like a dummy, I placed my rosin in my backpack only to find a fraction of it broken :( . It's still usable though!

This rosin is rather light coloured for a "dark" rosin. It has a lot of grip and is not very powdery--articulation is surprisingly easy.I used to alternate between Andrea Solo and Salchow Dark rosin; I am now comfortable sticking with Melos Dark, except for in cases of big humidity changes when I will sometimes use something different (and ultimately get a rehair).I'd put it somewhere between Andrea Solo and Jade in terms of grip and sound, only much less powdery and with a smoother feel under the hand. It has a clean, pure sound.Give it a try; the price is reasonable. I'm quite pleased with it so far!
