MELOS ROSINS are tested to "function" effectively under any condition, for every single instrument. Especially, violin, viola, cello and bass rosins, are produced in two types, "light" & "dark". The "light" type is used more in high temperatures (spring or summer), for "smooth" playing or for solo in chamber music. The "dark" type is used more in low temperatures (autumn or winter), for full-tone playing, in an orchestra, or for great solo concerts. One can also choose based on his/her right hands’ peculiarities and bow technique. Specifically for cello, on musicians’ demand, we produce MELOS “sticky” Rosin. This product is softer and “bites” the strings stronger than MELOS “dark” Rosin. Mix it! A powerful effect of MELOS ROSIN The musician can mix different types of rosins to have the results he/she really wish. For example, a violin player can mix a violin MELOS “light” or “dark” rosin with a viola MELOS “light” or “dark” rosin. So, according to the hardness or softness of the cake, using MELOS ROSIN, musicians can have exactly what they really need, a warm, full, high quality sound.

Switched from a basic rosin to this with the hope of a better tone. Huge difference! went from a crisp sharp sound to a warm and beautifully rich tone. I don't think it's messy at all and it makes such a good connection between the bow and strings.

Melos is rosin that is made at the source in Greece. This is the best rosin that I ever owned and used. I am a professional 5 string violinist and perform 6-7 days a week and this rosin is not as dusty as other brands and produces better tone that any other major brands that I have ever used. I play 5 string violin and this is why I am using Viola rosin. Highly recommend!

I’d never heard of this rosin before and it came up in an Amazon search. I decided to try it out. I typically use Hill. I immediately fell in love with it. The packaging is great and keeps the mess out of your case and off your hands. It’s a very smooth and elegant rosin. It’s definitely the brand I’m going to stick with from now on.

I like this rosin very well. It has, for me, just the right stickiness. I would not recommend it for those with sensitive allergies because it does get a little powdery while playing.

This rosin is awesome! It works really well, and sounds great. The only downside is that it produces a lot of dust, especially when you're playing, so you'll need to wipe your viola down so it doesn't build up on the instrument. Other than that, it's worth every penny!

This rosin is truly amazing. It pulls sound from the instrument unlike any other other rosin I have tried, and though it may be powdery at first- it wipes off very easily. You may need to put on a bit more rosin than you are used to, but it is worth the small amount of mess.
