You could win…

Clarity Colored Rosin: Clarity Rosin is hypo-allergenic. Made from a synthetic hydrocarbon resin compound that substantially improves the properties of rosin producing a clear string response. The hydrophobic material resists absorption of moisture making it unaffected by humidity, keeping its tack or effectiveness over time. Non-corrosive to instrument varnish. Available in fun colors for Violin, Viola and Cello. Alternative rosin options available for bass.

Large Chocolate Violin: Back by popular demand, the large chocolate instruments are 7.5” tall and are available in Milk or Dark Chocolate, these are made for our shop by Graham’s Chocolates in Geneva.

Alfred’s Music Playing Cards: Classical Composers are a fun and playful way for your students to learn about the great composers and are perfect for any studio or classroom!
