Dutch manufacturer 050 Rosin has expanded its double-bass product lineup with the introduction of the Dark Formula, a new variant engineered to maintain stability in high temperatures. According to details reported by No Treble, this addition joins the brand’s existing Soft, Hard, and Super Sticky options but utilizes a special ingredient to create a unique texture that resists becoming runny when ambient temperatures rise.
The company states that while the new rosin feels less sticky during application, it delivers gripping power comparable to or exceeding the Soft blend. No Treble notes that the manufacturer claims the formula produces clean sound with minimal background noise even after multiple strokes. The product is specifically designed to enhance low-mid overtones, resulting in a warm and vibrant tone suitable for both solo and orchestral performances.
Manufactured in the Netherlands, the Dark Formula arrives in recyclable metal cans and paper cups to align with sustainable packaging trends. The report from No Treble confirms the product is currently available for immediate shipment through select music-products dealers. This launch provides retailers with a specialized solution for bassists facing seasonal climate challenges, potentially driving incremental sales in the orchestral strings category as distributors stock the new SKU.
