CONCERTO rosin for viola by Leatherwood

Concerto Rosin by Leatherwood 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 the ability of the rosin to endure a long performance with minimal deterioration to the 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 it’s maximum capability from the very beginning of the bow movement. This rosin improves sound endurance, overall projection, power, with 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
• Offering strong projection of clarity, warmth, and nuance of tone colour
• Reducing sound deterioration through rosin build up

• Developed for viola
• Leather: Deep Charcoal Premium Australian Leather
• Wood: Yakisugi - Australian Cypress Pine
• Rosin: Concerto - Soloistic Intensity
• Made in Australia

To create Concerto, the Leatherwood team searched, experimented, and found new and unique combination of resins and waxes. They have worked to maximise the sound potential of this rosin with their partners in Japan, including renowned soloists Mayu Kishima (laureate Isaac Stern,Cologne, Queen Elizabeth, Wieniawski Competitions) and Minami Yoshida (laureate of Joachim, Sibelius and Montréal Competitions).
