Better than Andrea Solo!
This is a great quality rosin and way better than the Cecilia Rosin formerly known as Andrea rosin for the price. It's so concentrated you don't need to put a lot of rosin. It is the perfect combination of dark and light rosin so it is balanced if you live in climates where you have to swap between dark and light rosin. It has way more projection than Cecilia and you really don't need that much rosin just a few swipes lasts for a while
Best rosin for money!
This is the most brilliant rosin I've ever used. It out beats Andrea now Cecilia Solo rosin. Sartory has a lot of projection with grip while combining both brightness with a smooth tone. Very very low dust and not sticky. Plus the beautiful box it comes in is just fabulous. My only warning is to be sure to store in an area of your case where it won't get banged on I had before where my metronome banged into it in the case and the top came of and took off a very small chunk.
One of my top favorites!
I have a rosin collection, and this is one of my top favorites! It definitely gives a smooth feel and sound. It's like hot knife on butter, makes bowing feel easy and gets you pulling a fuller sound. Rather than getting into a cold stick of butter feeling choppy. The description of this rosin is very accurate in my opinion! I mostly use this one on my JonPaul Carrera bow. Plus the container is very cool.
The best rosin!
Absolutely the best, wonderful sounds, speaks immediately, clear and clean, no powder on the instrument! I love it.
The best rosin!
Absolutely amazing rosin! Better than Andrea in my opinion. Speaks immediately, clear sound and what is the most important doesn't leave the powder on the instrument!!! It's my number 1 so far.
All purpose
I use this on my cello but I also use it on my violin. I was using a more expensive rosin but it just wasnít gripping my fiddle strings right so I wiped some of this on. Worked fine. My choice for both my fiddle and my cello.
great rosin
I love this rosin - great for smoothness.

I love this rosin! First of all, the wooden box is just beautiful, but the rosin itself is also lovely and smooth and works just perfectly! It is a pleasure to use for playing...
