Ruby "Soft" Rosin

30 years after the Jade Rosin’s debuted, rosin maker Alexandre Thorvaldsson knew something was missing, “When I make a new rosin, I know the quality will be good, but I wanted to change the aesthetic” (The Strad, February 2022). The result: Ruby Soft Rosin, a shimmering, red rosin that is a variation on the evergreen Jade Rosin. With only minor changes to the recipe, like altering the beeswax, this rosin precisely balances grip and minimal dust. 

All ingredients are natural, sourced from Europe. A key to the resin’s superb quality is the use of “maritime pines in Portugal where a consistently mild climate interferes minimally with resin quality throughout the year.”

A rosin that is sensitive, clean, and pretty: the Ruby Soft Rosin has it all, making for a smooth, effortless playing experience. The Ruby ‘Soft’ Rosin is recommended for violins, violas, and celli in hot, humid environments. See the Ruby ‘Hard’ Rosin for cold, dry climates.
