Review: I've been using Melos rosin, both light and dark, for 6 or 7 years now and it works well. Smooth, good sound from my fiddles, and not too expensive. A nice step up from cheap rosin. It used to come in a cloth wrap. Now it comes in a fitted cork case, which at first I thought would be good - more protective, etc. But the cork case makes it significantly larger and it takes up a lot more room in the tiny compartment in my double case. Plus, it seems more difficult to apply while holding the cork. ## Features - Optimized for Violin Bows - Light Hard Rosin for Warmer Months - Dark Soft Rosin for Colder Months - Made of Greek pine-tree colophony - Mix with Dark Rosin for perfect playability ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000OJDEBE | | Back Material Type | Pine | | Body Material Type | Pine | | Brand Name | melos | | Color | Light | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (147) | | Finish Type | Lacquered | | Included Components | Rosin only | | Instrument | Violin | | Instrument Size | One Size | | Item Dimensions | 6.4 x 6.4 x 3.2 centimeters | | Item Weight | 0.06 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Nova Strings | | Manufacturer Part Number | VNMELOL | | Material Type | Pine Wood | | Model Name | Melos Light | | Model Number | BHBU0503A528 | | Number of Strings | 4 | | Operation Mode | Manual | | String Material Type | Metal Alloy | | Top Material Type | Pine | | UPC | 123456852174 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** melos - **Colour:** Light - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 6.4 x 6.4 x 3.2 centimeters - **Size:** One Size - **Top material type:** Pine ## Images ![Melos Light Violin Rosin - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71w2e0KHDoL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by P***8 on 15 March 2024* I don't know anything about this product, but my daughter who plays the violin says it's good. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by K***T on 29 January 2024* I've been using Melos rosin, both light and dark, for 6 or 7 years now and it works well. Smooth, good sound from my fiddles, and not too expensive. A nice step up from cheap rosin. It used to come in a cloth wrap.

During the colder winter months, I used the dark version and it gripped wonderfully but now that the weather is warming up, it gets a bit too grippy and that causes some screeches and scratches. The switch to this rosin fixes that right up and stops the scratchiness. There is a light build up of dust of the body, but then again I really work my rosin into the bow and wipe the excess off. Comes with that Melos rosin smell that can take some getting used to! Melos uses freshly tapped sap from living, no by-products! A big plus in my book. Some people may complain about the price, but then again think about how much you spend on strings and your violin. Strings alone can cost $50 or more and last 3-6 months usually. This rosin for $20 can last a year+ Should you really complain about the price after thinking about that? ## Frequently Bought Together - Melos Light Violin Rosin - The Original Bernardel Rosin For Violin - Viola - Cello - MusicNomad String Instrument Premium Microfiber Polishing Cloth (MN731) 12" x 12" --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/298599096-melos-light-violin-rosin](https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/298599096-melos-light-violin-rosin) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kenya* *Store origin: KE* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
