After nearly 25 years of building student to symphony level bowed instruments, we at Stravari were looking to improve on what was commercially available in traditional varnishes and grounds (under varnishes). After extensive research and countless translations of old Italian documents, we developed formulas of ground coats, oil varnishes, spirit varnishes and metallic rosinate varnishes that we felt lived up to the standards of the old world masters. Along the way we found and translated some wonderful rosin recipes dating back to the 1500's in Italy. And from these roots our rosins were born. Old master and Artista rosins have been formulated utilizing three distinct processes, four different tree resins and a number of additives and minerals. Through this extensive testing and experimentation we realized our goal of bringing the finest bow rosins to the modern player. Take a look at our other rosins, cleaning product, wax and spit!
