A cake of bow rosin.
You know including the time I spent back when I was
younger I've played the violin for a good number of
years. But it wasn't until a couple of weeks ago that
I discovered that violin bow rosin is made from tree
sap — usually pine tree sap.
Pine trees? Did somebody say pine trees? I mean
I must live in the Xanadu of bow rosin.
Be that as it may, I've really been having a tough
time finding a cake of Pirastro Oliv/Evah bow rosin.
I've tried local shops and they don't have it in. So I
got onto the internet and it's as if places are selling it,
but when you get down to the nitty gritty of ordering it
they say they are "temporarily out of stock" of the Oliv/Evah
but are "waiting on a shipment from their supplier."
You know, I think that the Pirastro factory, which is
located in Offenbach-Main, Germany, needs to get its
shit together and add another shift on at their plant.
I'm going to get onto Amazon at the beginning of next
month and give it another try. There are several retailers
there that at least claim to have it now. But then, that's
what the last one I ordered from told me too.
Ah, you mean the influence of the Bow Rosin Cartels. Yes, a sad thing.I don't know anything about business. But to me it makes sense that if you are a company that is producing something that you would do better by actually producing it. :p
Might they be playing "hard to get" so that they can increase their prices………supply and demand?Reminds me of the oil business. 😀
Damn cone droppin' pines!
OMG here we go again. LMAO.
😆 A man is not a man without his rosin.
@ Richard.:lol:Yes I feel at least slightly emasculated without my Oliv/Evah, Richard. :p

Hmmm. I might just take a hike out into the woods and do some sap harvesting.:lol:That cake looks a lot like Neutrogena soap used to, back in the '70's when it first came out. Did you notice that?:lol::heart:

I can just see that on a resume….2004 – 2005. Independent Sap Harvester. Located, collected, processed and sold sap. Reason for leaving: Dislike sap.I've never used Neutrogena. I do remember it though. That was one of those beauty product things, wasn't it? Maybe I should put some rosin on my eyes and see if I can get rid of those wrinkles. :D:heart:

It was supposed to clear up zits. Broke my face out pretty badly, though. Maybe it was pine sap. I'm allergic to pine.:lol:
:lol:I'm okay, as long as I don't have any prolonged skin contact with it. But I can't pull weeds around here without gloves. My town was actually built in the middle of what has to be the world's largest pine forest. I grew up in this, climbing these trees, running barefooted among the pine needles. The docs never could figure out why my hands and feet were always blistering. I've just discovered what caused it in the last five or six years, purely by accident.Just can't go barefoot in the woods anymore.:D
Okay! :up::D
