About Rosin
History:
From the 10th to 12th century, people used resin obtained from fir and pine trees for painting and to make their wooden boats waterproof. It was also around that time that people from the eastern parts of the Mediterranean region started to look for new and better ways how to play their stringed instruments. Initially, they would use sticks made from dried sheep gut which had a rather rough surface to strike the strings. Later on, people discovered the benefits of using horsehair for bowing their strings. With a layer of rosin applied onto the bow hair this proved to be the perfect invention. Only bow hair coated with rosin would grab the strings enough for them to be caused to vibrate.

Extraction:
Natural resin was and still is obtained from pine trees during fall and turpentine oil is the product which is gained through its distillation. Pieces of natural resin are heated up in a boiler in order to evaporate water from it while at the same time impure components within the now liquefied resin slowly sink towards the bottom of the boiler. As a last step, the pure liquid resin is skimmed off and then cooled down.

Origin and Characteristics:
You can recognize the origin of the resin by its color. French and North American pure resin has a light yellow color while German pure resin is rather brown. Pure natural resin is transparent, can be easily pulverized and dissolves in alcohol and essential oils.
In a successive stage, the pure resin is heated up again while oil and other materials are added. This liquid will then be poured into a mold to form the cake of rosin that
musicians are using for their bow hair. Each manufacturer has his very own specific procedure to make rosin which he protects as a strict secret. As a consequence, all rosins today differ in quality and impact the bowing technique and the sound color of an instrument immensely. For the musician it is thus important to carefully choose a rosin which helps him to have the most ideal grip of the bow while playing the strings.

Which Rosin should I use?
High quality rosin allows for perfect bowing without scratchy sounds, especially if only a thin layer of rosin is applied. The general rule is:
• Violinists and violists use a harder, dryer rosin
• Cellists use a medium strong rosin
• Bassists a softer rosin

Another important aspect for choosing the right rosin is the core material of the string that are being used:
• Steel strings are easier played if you use a hard, dry rosin
• For synthetic, gut and gut wound strings use a softer rosin
• Moreover, experienced players prefer softer rosin when playing in a studio and harder rosin in a concert hall. Hard rosin works best in tropical climates while soft rosin is good for cold climates.
• We develop our own specific rosin and design it according the technical requirements of our different string lines. That is also the reason why we name our rosin after the brand names of our violin and viola string lines.

Packaging
Each cake of rosin is glued onto a soft cloth which then is attached to a hard plastic grip. This prevents the fingers of the musician to get exposed to rosin dust and also makes it easier to apply the rosin.

Great squeaker balls - dogs favorite but not for aggressive chewers.
We have a chocolate Labrador retriever and a golden retriever who love balls. Tennis balls don’t last. We’ve been very happy with the ChuckIt quality. We especially love the bucket of orange balls those last until we lose them. We’ve tried to other products from ChuckIt and they’ve always been excellent. Squeaker toys are a special favorite in our home. However most don’t last because our dogs are moderately aggressive chewers. They haven’t destroyed these… yet. HOWEVER, we have a ball-obsessed, very aggressive chewer grand dog Sadie (“Ball Is Life”) who visits frequently. She goes nuts over anything that squeaks. She’s not satisfied until all squeakers are dead. And she destroy this ball in about 2 minutes. It’s fine when she supervised and we’re playing fetch. But when left on her own, she’ll find these balls and destroy them. We had 6 and in 2 days were down to four. I will still give it 5 stars because nothing is indestructible. And Sadie is an exceptionally aggressive chewer. On durability, these are above average maybe 7/10. But be warned, aggressive chewers will destroy them.

Durable except squeaker only works for a few minutes
My pups loves these balls mostly for the squeaker. Company dose not glue the squeaker in place inside of the ball so after a few chews from pup the squeaker pops out n bounces around the inside of the ball. Than after awhile the end pops out n that's a good thing for me due to I'm able to glue the squeaker back in place then glue end back also. Now the squeaker works again. Easy fix yet company should have done this before my pups played with them. Scary, what if my pups chew the ball n by chance chocks on the squeaker? I now take the ball apart when they 1st arrive n glue the squeaker n end in place the day before they play with them. Company should just glue the squeaker in place before they sell them to keep our pups safe from chance of chocking.

My dog’s all-time favorite toy!!
My boxer mix LOVES LOVES LOVES the Chuck it ball! It is seriously his favorite toy. I think he likes how much give it has when he chomps on it, kind of like a dog stress ball. It does squeak when chewed but the squeak typically goes away in about a week likely due to saliva getting inside the ball. It bounces really well, my dog loves to catch it mid-bounce. Nice smooth rubber, easy to clean. It is very durable, we’ve never had one that broke. We usually only have to buy more when they go missing. The size is similar to a tennis ball. I’ve also noticed there is a difference between the mostly blue chuck it ball and the mostly orange one. The orange one is harder than the blue. My dog can tell the difference and only likes these blue ones.
