"... a brilliant design and not only do I congratulate you but I cannot thank you enough for solving this age-old problem. I'm always excited by innovative user-friendly products." Gary Karr - the Worlds Leading Solo Bassist 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; including 24 karat gold. Through this extensive testing and experimentation we realized our goal of bringing the finest bow rosins to the modern player. The Stravari rosins are formulated in small batches using the finest of natural ingredients sourced from all over the world. Pick Your Grip guide to determine the right rosin for you.
