Leatherwood Bespoke Rosin™
Hand Made in Australia
New ecoRosin…Organic, Recyclable, Biodegradable, Vegan, Carbon Offset
ecoRosin is a new line of premium rosins, innovated, designed and created in Australia by Leatherwood Bespoke Rosin. ecoRosin strives to leave a zero footprint on our planet whilst offering string players premium rosin recipes. ecoRosin uses natural plant based ingredients and resins, including organic waxes and hemp. ecoRosin uses no animal products and is 100% vegan. It is also biodegradable, will leave no waste and estimated C02 emissions are offset through investment in renewable energy projects.
Handcrafted in Australia to precise tolerances as a blend of natural resins (low wax).
Wrapped in locally sourced, artisan cured, deer leather. Hemp alternative available.
Wooden mount in a variety of sustainably and locally sourced timbers.
Available in two formulations with distinct characteristics with an additional Baroque option
Crisp:
A decisive attack, firm traction and crisp sautille; this recipe creates an undeniably forthright sound through a glassier texture.
The crisp blend often works well with an instrument with lots of resonance but is a little ‘woolly’ in sound, offering it greater clarity and articulation.
R130 Violin. R131 Viola. R132 Cello.
Supple:
A warm and softer sound, consistent traction that feels velvety and rich; this recipe maintains a reliably sharp attack on the string.
The supple blend can help generate a more powerful and focused sound from a softer and lighter bow with less ‘bite’.
R140 Violin R141 Viola. R142 Cello.
Baroque:
Specially formulated for gut strings, the gentle but clean attack and smoother traction allows the string to resonate freely with maximum clarity without distortion and also reduce the ‘squeak’ often encountered with using modern rosins on gut.
R134 Violin. R135 Viola. R136 Cello.

Leatherwood Bespoke Rosin’s founder, Andrew Baker, has always been excited by the colours, textures and aromas of the violin-making tradition.
From the grain patterns of timber to the quality of varnishes, Andrew is passionate about the ‘texture’ of the string-playing world. Andrew has valued the relationships between performers and their artisan violin and bow makers; the journey of construction and maintenance, and the high appreciation of stunningly beautiful natural materials being as significant as energies spent in the practice room or on stage.
