MICRO-FIBER POLISHING CLOTH The D'Addario Micro-fiber Polishing Cloth is a long-lasting cleaning cloth for all instruments that can be used with or without polishes. The Micro-fiber Cloth traps particles deep inside its fibers which are 2000 times finer than a human hair. This eliminates the need for harsh cleansers. D'Addario micro-fiber cloths last considerably longer than ordinary cloths and can be washed multiple times for lasting, repeatable performance you can rely on. MICRO VIOLIN TUNER The D'Addario Micro Violin Tuner features an easy-to-read, full-color display in an attractive compact design. A non-marring, lever-lock clamp holds the tuner securely to the instrument while allowing easy application and removal. The precision violin tuner is not only perfect for tuning, the unique mounting system and fast pitch response allow it to be used as an effective practice tool for referencing and improving intonation while playing. CELLO AND BASS ECLIPSE TUNER The clip-on D’Addario Eclipse Tuner provides unparalleled performance, pairing beautifully with lower-stringed instruments for fast, accurate chromatic tuning. The Eclipse Tuner's multi-swivel action allows for the perfect viewing angle when used with cello and double bass, featuring a full-color vertical display, auto power-off, and pitch calibration––all in a discreet, compact design. Note: For optimum accuracy, attach the tuner to the lower-strings side of the bridge while in use. CR2032 battery included. Review: Lovely rosin in a fancy box - It's rosin and all rosin is the same, right? Well no. You get what you play for and cheap rosin is very cheap, it dusts and can dry out and crack. With this you get a nice rosin that catches the strings beautifully, it keeps together and hasn't dried at all in all this heat (been abroad where it's been 34 to 39 deg C). There's also the case, it gimmick is you can open it one handed and there's a turning knob so you can spin your rosin so you don't end up with a rut....but as the rosin sits proud and the lid hinges back to expose it all, this spin wheel isn't needed at all. The only thing I'd want to change is you can't close it one handed. I've got a couple and both don't close unless you push both sides of the clips at the same time. This would be more useful than opening it with a squeeze. But other than that one personal niggle, this is a perfect little pot of golden joy. Review: Good quality - A good Rosin. Nice being round and a dial to turn so not wasting.

I'm a violinist but prefer dark rosin because I live in a relatively cold and dry place and prefer deeper tones on my instrument. If I lived somewhere particularly warm or humid, or wanted a slightly brighter tone I'd go for light rosin. **Q: Can the box be reused for other rosin?** A: Doubtful. The Rodin is fixed rigidly inside the box. It can be rotated. **Q: I'm an improver cellist with Helicore strings on a rather lively cello. Do you recommend light or dark rosin, please?** A: Hello, the dark rosin is recommended for cello ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lovely rosin in a fancy box *by S***L on 20 August 2024* It's rosin and all rosin is the same, right?

Nice being round and a dial to turn so not wasting. Good quality and helps the sound ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great rosin *by A***. on 19 November 2024* I felt this rosin was quite pricey when I bought it. However, after using it I now understand why its price is a bit on the high side. My playing has improved immensely since using this rosin, grips the strings really well and has all but eliminated the bow sliding over the strings. It’s not overly gripping the strings so no more crunching sounds and no more screeching over the strings as it has the ideal level of grip. An added benefit is that my violin isn’t covered in rosin dust as very little dust is created. All and all I love this rosin and now understand why there’s a difference between cheap rosin and more expensive rosin. That’s not to say there aren’t any good cheap rosins out there. If you were lucky enough to find one, that’s great, unfortunately after buying many cheap rosins I was unable to find one that came anywhere near matching this rosin. ## Frequently Bought Together - D'Addario Violin Rosin - Cello Rosin - Kaplan Premium Dark Rosin with Case for Violin, Viola, Cello - For Horsehair or Synthetic Bows - D'Addario Prelude Violin String Set, 4/4 Scale, Medium Tension – J810 4/4M - Solid Steel Core, Warm Tone, Economical and Durable – Educator’s Choice for Student Strings – 1 Set - Fiddlerman Carbon Fiber Violin Bow 4/4 --- ## 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.hr/products/52846285-violin-rosin-cello-rosin-kaplan-premium-dark-rosin-with-case](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/52846285-violin-rosin-cello-rosin-kaplan-premium-dark-rosin-with-case) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
