Customer Comments:
“I, as well as a bunch of other orchestra players I know, like to use Carlsson
double bass rosin most of the year and switch to Nyman in the summer months. I find it just too hard in the winter. I do sometimes like to use the Nyman’s for solo or chamber work though, because it seems to give a little bit quicker response and it doesn’t get gritty like the Carlsson
sometimes can.”
“I’m not sure how people can say Carlsson and Nyman double bass rosin are the same –
or even similar!
Nyman’s is quite a bit harder, and kind of more sticky to the touch. Carlsson is soft, and gets sticky when it’s warm. Carlsson will melt and leave a gooey mess in your bag, while Nyman’s usually won’t
unless it’s super hot out.”

Robert Yong –
coming from a freebie student rosin from the violin store, Carlsson gives the bow great traction that far exceeds student rosin. But, sometimes it does get very gritty

Quality rosin, and about $5 cheaper than you’re local stringed instrument store. Can’t beat the value.
