100% Pure Hand Pulverized Rosin Powder
Looks and feels like fine floury cornmeal.
Small handy vial perfect for sports, gig, or dance bag (Net Wt: .35 oz (9.5 g), Vol: .5 oz)
Rosin (aka colophony or Greek pitch) is a natural product made from living pine trees. It is commonly used by athletes, rock climbers, gymnasts and active folks in a host of physical activities to ensure a good grip. In addition to sports, dance, and a wide range of industrial applications, rosin is a versatile product also found in medicines, soft drinks and even chewing gum. Rosin is probably best known as a friction agent used for centuries by musicians on bows to make violin strings vibrate.
Looks and Feels Like Fine Floury Cornmeal
Pulverized by hand in small batches, this natural "gum" rosin is derived from oleoresin extracted from sustainably managed Georgia pine trees. The consistency is a fine grain powder. It looks and feels like floury cornmeal.
Hard-to-find Product
Last time we checked, no other seller offers rosin powder in such small handy squeeze vials. Loading rosin powder into the tiny vials is a nasty, difficult, and time-consuming job. (Just ask Tony who spent an entire morning filling 100 or so vials.) Because this is such a labor-intensive task, the cost per ounce is relatively high, and our profit margin is low. So considering that no other seller is willing to undergo the time and effort to produce and pack rosin powder in such small handy vials, the cost is a true bargain. A little goes a long way. And for some of our musician and technician customers a vial holds a lifetime supply.
Our Original Rosin Powder
The Hand Pulverized Rosin Powder is our original rosin powder. We first began producing it around ten years ago as a gripping aid for our bones-playing customers. Packed and pulverized in small batches, this natural "gum" rosin is derived from oleoresin extracted from sustainably managed Georgia pine trees. The powder is pulverized by hand from chunks of rosin, then loaded into small handy squeeze vials. The process is messy and exceptionally time-consuming. That is why the Hand Pulverized Rosin Powder costs more than our other varieties. Now we offer varieties that are less labor-intensive to produce the powder (although still a chore to fill the vials).

Who Uses Rosin Powder?
Bones Players:
Rosin is a traditional gripping aid for bones players. This hand-pulverized rosin powder is the same stuff that legendary bones player Percy Danforth kneaded into his wheel of beeswax to get a good grip. For best results, knead rosin powder into surface of
BoneGrip
wax wheel. The best time to work rosin into beeswax is during warm weather when wax softens easier. You can replenish the wheel from time to time by sprinkling a pinch of powdered rosin into the screw-top container and shaking it.
String Musicians:
Rosin is essential for stringed instruments. Nothing works quicker and easier than rosin powder to season a new bow. Helps keep banjo bridges in place too. Gripping Fact: Rosin is the secret ingredient that keeps guitar picks from flying.
Dancers:
Rosin is the traditional remedy for slick dance floors. Ballet dancers routinely crunch rosin on their pointe shoe heels and toes to prevent slipping on a slick wooden stage surface. Likewise, flamenco, Irish and other percussive dancers treat their shoes with rosin. Rosin also helps jazz and ballroom dancers maintain solid footing. Pole, hoop and aerial artists use rosin on their hands and feet to perform elaborate routines.
Craftspeople and Hobbyists:
Rosin is an excellent friction agent. Model makers use it on vise jaws and holding fixtures to stabilize small parts. Rosin works great on intricate components and flat surfaces to prevent slipping. Apply rosin anywhere you need to increase friction. Helps keep floor mats non-slip and your workshop injury-free.
Athletes and Sportspersons:
Rosin gives you a winning edge against the competition. A little rosin powder on your hands and sports equipment handles makes for a secure grasp. Use it on baseball & cricket bats, tennis & badminton rackets, golf clubs, or any surface that requires a solid no-nonsense grip. Apply directly on baseballs, pistol grips, or any object to prevent slippage. Try it directly on mats and floors. A little on the soles of basketball shoes, weightlifting boots, or bowling shoes improves traction. Rosin powder helps boxing and fencing champs dance strategically around their opponents. Rodeo riders use rosin on gloves and bull rope for a strong, tough hold.
Small Container...Low Bargain Price
With a little luck you can find a small packet of violin rosin powder on eBay for around ten bucks or so. Odds are though, you will not find 100% pure hand-pulverized rosin anywhere, yet alone for ten bucks. We pulverize and package this rosin in small batches. The process is rather messy and labor-intensive (just ask Tony, Jarred, or Joanna). And yes, we do run out of stock for brief periods of time. So save yourself some time and trouble and expense.
