Liebenzeller RosinLiebenzeller metal rosin has been made in a small village in the German Black Forest for over 40 years. The unique recipe was developed in the workshop of the Viennese violin maker Dr. Thomastik as early as 1922. Made traditionally by hand, Liebenzeller rosin contains delicate bubbles which emphasize the special quality and spirited nature of the rosin. Using pure larch resin with the addition of different metals produces livelier, warmer and brighter sounds than other rosins. This will help produce enhanced tonal volume, greater modulation and carrying power, conveying the individual sound of the instrument without effort, and one-sided tones can be compensated. The bow develops an excellent and even response, with ambient noise minimized.Choosing the right rosin is critical as it is the rosin that creates the sound while playing. Liebenzeller rosin enhances a string instrument's sound as well as the player's creativity with as little effort as possible. We are proud to reintroduce Liebenzeller rosin to the United States after an extended period when it was unavailable here.Liebenzeller rosin is available with Gold, Silver, Copper or Meteor Iron added for a range of unique sounds.GOLDUniquely balanced; the sound is full, round and warm as well as bright and crisp, transparent and light in high notes.Grades I (hard) to VI (soft): the softer grades make the harshness of an instrument milder and enhance it, the harder grades provide more clarity.Gold IV: uniquely balanced, a bit more mellow (cello)

teacher approved
I am a beginning adult cello student and know very little yet. I initially purchased a different brand of rosin but found it hard to use, so I purchased this one because of the reviews. What a difference! The rosin is easier to use, my bow sounds better, and my teacher approves. She says that this rosin is usually purchased by people who have far more experience than I do, but she's glad, that like my cello, I purchased one of the best. I think unless I drop and break this rosin, it will last for quite some time. I am very pleased with the purchase of this rosin, and even my inexperienced ears can tell that a better rosin makes for better playing.

It’s good a habit anyway
This rosin brings more sound out of my cello and allows the bow to dig in the strings easier without scratching sound. A rosin will not change the sound of your playing “completely” but this one does help. Given its soft nature, one does need to clean the string and instrument after each practice. It’s good a habit anyway.

Great Rosin!
My favorite rosin to use. I have been a devoted Liebenzeller fan for many years now and I have to say, it is by far my favorite rosin to use in cello playing. I use Gold IV for daily practice and orchestral performances, and occasionally, I switch to Gold III for solo performances.

Great!
I LOVE this rosin! It doesn't leave lots of dust, and it's nice and grippy on the strings. Definatley an upgrade from the stuff I was using. I would recommend it, even though it's pricey.

A quality rosin
While a bit expensive, this rosin is great. It works to produce a nice, vibrant sound and minimizes some of the extra noise I've been experiencing with some other rosins.

Good rosin cheaply packaged
First of all - the rosin is fine.BUT- it comes a) without a box with it's name on it, and b) with just a scrappy bit of flannel around it, and no elastic band to hold the flannel around the rosin.If you're paying more than $30 for a piece of rosin, don't you think they could have packaged it better?
