The Original AB No. 1 Violin Rosin

TEACHER-INSPIRED DARK VIOLIN ROSIN: Hidersine AB Violin Rosin is made to the historic Amy Birch recipe, giving it a clear reason to sit apart from standard student rosins. It is a traditional, educator-associated dark rosin with a warm, balanced response, ideal for players who want something more characterful than a basic rosin without moving straight to a deluxe dark formula. THE NATURAL STEP-UP FROM STUDENT ROSIN: Positioned between Hidersine’s classic everyday violin rosins and the richer Hidersine 6V Deluxe Dark Rosin, AB offers a sensible middle ground. It gives smooth traction and reliable bow contact while keeping the feel controlled and manageable for developing players, school musicians, advancing students and early conservatoire players. DARK, MEDIUM-HARD FORMULA: AB Violin Rosin is a dark, medium-hard rosin with a Hidersine Grip Profile Rating of GPR #5. That makes it responsive without feeling overly sticky, helping the bow grip the string cleanly while supporting a warm, balanced tone. A strong choice for violinists who want dependable control, articulation and musical expression. TRADITIONAL CLOTH WRAPPED CAKE: Supplied as a large 30g rosin cake, AB keeps its classic look and practical feel with a soft cloth wrap and ribbon tie. The cloth helps the player hold the rosin while applying it to the bow hair, then ties neatly back around the cake before placing it safely in the violin case. MADE IN ENGLAND BY HIDERSINE: Hidersine rosins have been trusted by string players for generations. AB Violin Rosin is hand-mixed and hand-poured in England using a time-honoured artisanal process, combining colophony and natural waxes to create a traditional rosin with a warm, balanced sound and reliable everyday performance.
