I’m Isaac Trapkus – NY Phil bassist, rosin maker, and your cold-weather ally.
I struggled for years with rosin that failed in winter and had to be wastefully replaced every couple months.
After 5 years of research and experiments (and 100+ failed versions), I finally landed on a dependable solution.
I handcraft every cake of Winter rosin and test every batch.
Over a year since my last rehair and still feeling good!

This stuff works!

For the first time, I feel like I get that spring/fall rosin punch during the coldest time of the year. This rosin is a game changer.
Is "Winter" rosin for me?
Buy this if...
Your favorite rosin needs some help in colder / dryer conditions.
You want easy, clear articulation.
You want more playing time between rehairs.
You are tired of constantly reapplying rosin.
You are a jazz/folk player who needs their bow ready at a moment’s notice through a long show.
You want that extra gear for big musical moments.
Don't buy if...
Winter playing temp is 76°F (25°C) or above.
You are a true beginner, as you may not yet have the bow control and experience to make the most of this rosin.
You are a powder-style player.
You are looking for a solo rosin.
Disappointing bass rosins:
Bass rosins made by softening gum rosin have short-term grab that quickly dissipates under bowing friction and create clouds of powder – making front-end articulation frustrating in cold / dry conditions.
Great bass rosins:
Leading bass rosin makers know there is much more to sustained grab than softness. Even so, no single formula works for all conditions.
