A cake of rosin, made for use by violinists, used here for soldering. Rosin, also called colophony or Greek pitch (Pix graeca), grÃ¦ca is a solid form of resin obtained from pines and some other, plants mostly, conifers produced by heating fresh liquid resin to vaporize the volatile liquid terpene. components Rosin is often applied to the bow before playing the instrument. 2  Lighter rosin is used for violins and violas. 3  There are darker rosins for cellos and specific, distinguishing types for bassesâfor more see Bow (music) .
The company offers a complete line for all bowed instruments, from the light amber violin product to the darker, stickier cakes for bassists. Pine sap is indeed the key ingredient in violin rosin, and it is derived from pines grown for paper pulp on big southern plantations. A mash of pulverized trees and liquid is heated in giant âdigestersâ that separate the wood fibers from byproducts rich in aromatic compounds known as oleoresins.
