Excellent Bite, Little Dust. Review: Great Quality Rosin - Especially for Hot Humid Climate - I bought this rosin to replace my Jade rosin. I live in the South, where it is hot and humid most of the year. I loved my Jade, but I just wasn't getting the sound quality I wanted, and it didn't grip as well as it should. Right out of the package, I noticed the lovely shimmer of the gold flakes, which is pretty but unnecessary. The sound quality, however. WOW! Seriously, that is all I can say. My bow grips better, and my violin truly sings, which I have never really experienced before. It also leave little dust on my violin when I play, which is great. I am highly impressed with this rosin, and I am not sure I will change anytime soon. Review: It's better than Jade, IMHO - I bought Jade rosin and Goldflex rosin to try. I am a beginner violin player and started playing barely 3 weeks ago. I am desperate to improve my violin sound in leaps and heaps because (1) I am eager to perform to my friends, (2) I started as an adult so want to save embarrassment in front of those kids who learning since young and (3) I have music background in Clarinet thus I have own high expectation to pick up faster due to having "an edge". After reviewing desertcart reviews, I began experimenting by trying rosins and strings. I own an EuroString Model 100 violin and wanting to know if getting better strings like Dominants and better rosins will improve my sound at least 20%. As I am not sure how much I can commit in playing the Violin, thus I will stick to Eurostring for now. Both Jade and Goldflex impress me as they really do not produce much dust after bowing. Jade, however, does leave its coating residue on the string and thus need to wipe off each time after playing. Goldflex, on the other hand, does not leave as much on the string. Comparing both on picking up the strings more precisely during bowing, I personally felt Goldflex does better than Jade. Jade made me sounded "sticky" and not so smooth which Goldflex is able to provide me. Thus, I recommend Goldflex to any beginner violin players as it does not eat into pocket with its pricing, it does not product much dust and still provides good string contact. Do note not to apply too much of rosin on the string - 2-3 swipe of rosin on the bow should be sufficient or at your discretion. ## Features - Pirastro Model#002103 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000BNG668 | | Best Sellers Rank | #3,817 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #9 in Violin Rosin | | Body Material Type | Rosin | | Brand | Pirastro | | Brand Name | Pirastro | | Color | Gold | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 791 Reviews | | Finish Type | Gold | | Instrument | Viola, Violin | | Item Weight | 1.4 ounces | | Manufacturer | Pirastro | | Manufacturer Part Number | RNNAPGFLE | | Material Type | Rosin | | Model Name | Rosin Gold | | Model Number | 900600 | | String Material Type | Rosin | | UPC | 133587375053 743565148212 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Pirastro - **Color:** Gold - **Finish Type:** Gold - **UPC:** 133587375053 743565148212 ## Images ![Goldflex Rosin – Violin, Viola & Cello, Gold-Infused Formula - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51J4pkjlTGL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Quality Rosin - Especially for Hot Humid Climate *by B***S on May 26, 2021* I bought this rosin to replace my Jade rosin.

When I put the new rosin on my bow I immediately noticed a difference in the play-ability and the sound. I couldn't believe the difference this rosin makes! It is more sensitive or dynamic than cheaper rosins, so it might be a bit more difficult for beginners because of how sensitive it seems to be. I don't really know how to describe it exactly. I liked this so much, I bought some for my violin teacher, and when she opened it the rosin cracked completely off, I contacted the company and they didn't even require that I send in the old rosin, but still sent out a replacement! I would DEFINITELY buy this again and DEFINITELY buy from Southwest strings again! ## Frequently Bought Together - Pirastro Goldflex Rosin – Violin, Viola & Cello, Gold-Infused Formula - Pirastro Oliv/Evah Rosin For Violin-Viola-Cello - Thomastik-Infeld 135B Dominant Strings Set 4/4 with Steel E Ball - Corrosion Resistant Violin E String with Aluminum Wound Ball End - Flexible Violin Strings with Easy Modulation for a Rich Tone --- ## 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.za/products/1263882-goldflex-rosin-violin-viola-and-cello-gold-infused-formula](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/1263882-goldflex-rosin-violin-viola-and-cello-gold-infused-formula) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-07*
