CECILIASanctus' Rosin for Cello, Rosin Specially Formulated Cello Rosin for Cello Bows with Included Rosin Spreader (Full Cake)

I bought it as a splurge, figuring I wouldn’t really be able to hear a difference, but in fact it goes very far smoothing out my sound. In fact, I had to work a little to put a bite back into my playing, but for my personal playing goals, that is OK. I also like the little thingy to comb the rosin through the bow hairs. I thought it would be a silly gadget but I use it each time.

I don't think that violinists should make too much or too little of rosin. It is a variable in tone production, but it enhances more than anything. I know violinists that have been using the same block of Hill rosin for decades, and they sound good. Nevertheless, I hear differences between different rosins.I have been using Liebenzeller Gold II for nearly 20 years with satisfactory results. I occasionally try new rosins but have always returned to Liebenzeller. I use Andrea Solo rosin on my viola bow, so I decided to try Sanctus violin rosin to see what it offers.Compared to the Liebenzeller, the Santus produces more dust. I spend more time cleaning my strings and violin body after playing than I did before. While this is a strike against the rosin, I don't think the amount of dust is unacceptably high.The Sanctus enhances overtones like Liebenzeller. In this category, I consider the two rosins roughly equal. Both also facilitate smooth bowing without much effort.I favor the Sanctus with regard to the texture of sound. The fact that the rosin bows so smoothly yet retains some of the "grain" is an achievement. The added texture is subtle but definitely preferable to the Liebenzeller. It reminds me a bit of the popular Baker's rosin--not a lot of string noise but still produces good texture. It bows more smoothly than the Baker's too.I hope these comments help. I haven't seen much written on Sanctus rosin, and I think it is well worth a try.

I recently saw this rosin in a Reel video by Ray Chen. Nice looking and came with a rosin spreader which I think it’s very cool. Rosin helped to bring out the tone of the violin. Warm but with clarity and volume. The rosin spreader also helped to ensure evenly spread of the rosin. Highly recommended. I also purchased the other Cecilia rosin but I think this is my new favorite. It has a combined tone from their Solo and maybe signature rosin. Complex tone

The case isn’t that well, the case doesn’t protect the rosin from short falls.

i liked the rosin

Not liking it all. I’m a professional violinist and I’ve tried different rosins throughout the years. This one, first of all, not the best match for my bow-strings-violin combo but what really annoys me is that for $50, and I used it not more than 3 times, there are already numerous little pieces that broke off of that rosin. I went back to my obligato rosin but I can only imagine, what would happen to this one if id used it regularly. Very disappointing!!

I tried numerous rosins. Pirastro Goldflex, Pirastro Oliv, JADE, and a couple other cheap rosins. This one beats them all. It grips really well like Oliv but it sounds cleaner. I'm able to use more weight into the string without burrs and cracks in the sound. The spreader is a cool idea too.

After using at least 2 dozen brands of rosin over 65 years of playing violin I really, really like Cecilia Sanctus. It produces a clear, singing tone with a quick response.

It makes my bow feel like it is passing through butter. it is so smooth. The sound is clear and mellow.It has quickly become my favourite.

excellent quality and my daughter's cello teacher recommended. good design and it comes with a small additional pack.it's definitely worth the money, cause good ronsin would last for years, way less dusting than cheaper one.

unfortunately I regretted i bought the product .. it came all smashed ! It looks like it was sent this way.. apart that is very expensive it cannot be used properly.. and this is meant to last at least one year unbroken!
