FAQ
About this rosin.
Gut or steel strings?
Both. The viola rosin formula is made for gut and steel strings alike, with a clean attack and minimal dust.
How many strokes?
A few slow passes over the full length of the hair. If you see dust on the top or hear scratch in the attack, use less next time.
Where do you ship?
United States addresses only, from stock held in the US. Standard shipping is $5 (3–5 business days), Express is $15 (1–2 business days), and orders of $75 or more ship free.
Where is 050 Rosin made?
Every cake is handmade in small batches in Groningen, the Netherlands. 050 is the city's telephone area code, which is where the name comes from.
What is the packaging?
A paper cup inside a stamped kraft box. Both are recyclable. There is no plastic, no cloth and no tin; the money goes into the rosin, not the wrapping.
How do I pay?
