BoneGrip™ Rosin Powder Variety Pack Hand Pulverized, Mill Pulverized, Fine Ground, and Synthetic
Four small handy vials—perfect for sports, gig, or dance bag.
Rosin is commonly used by athletes, rock climbers, gymnasts and active folks in a host of physical activities to ensure a good grip. In addition to sports, dance, and a wide range of industrial applications, rosin is a versatile product also found in medicines, soft drinks and even chewing gum. Rosin is probably best known as a friction agent used for centuries by musicians on bows to make violin strings vibrate.
Natural or Synthetic Rosin: What's the difference?
Natural Rosin
All three of our Hand Pulverized, Mill Pulverized and Fine Ground
versions are 100% pure natural "gum" rosin. Natural rosin (aka colophony or Greek pitch) is made from living pine trees.
Synthetic Rosin
Allergic to Pine Rosin? Then try our Synthetic version. Synthetic rosin is a manufactured compound that won't irritate pine sensitive skin. It has become increasingly popular among musicians and athletes who are allergic to natural rosin.
Packed in Small Vials...Hard-to-find Product
Last time we checked, no other seller offers rosin powder in such small handy squeeze vials. Loading rosin powder into the tiny vials is a nasty, difficult, and time-consuming job. (Just ask Tony who spent an entire morning filling 100 or so vials.) Because this is such a labor-intensive task, the cost per ounce is relatively high and our profit margin is low. So considering that no other seller is willing to undergo the time and effort to produce and pack rosin powder in such small handy vials, the cost is a true bargain. A little goes a long way. And for some of our musician and technician customers a vial holds a lifetime supply.
Who Uses Rosin Powder?
Bones Players:
Rosin is a traditional gripping aid for bones players. It's what the legendary bones player Percy Danforth kneaded into his wheel of beeswax to get a good grip. For best results, knead rosin powder into surface of
BoneGrip™ wax wheel. The best time to work rosin into beeswax is during warm weather when wax softens easier. You can replenish the wheel from time to time by sprinkling a pinch of powdered rosin into the screw-top container and shaking it.
String Musicians:
Rosin is essential for stringed instruments. Nothing works quicker and easier than rosin powder to season a new bow. Helps keep banjo bridges in place too. Gripping Fact: Rosin is the secret ingredient that keeps guitar picks from flying.
Dancers:
Rosin is the traditional remedy for slick dance floors. Ballet dancers routinely crunch rosin on their pointe shoe heels and toes to prevent slipping on a slick wooden stage surface. Likewise, flamenco, Irish and other percussive dancers treat their shoes with rosin. Rosin also helps jazz and ballroom dancers maintain solid footing. Pole, hoop and aerial artists use rosin on their hands and feet to perform elaborate routines.
Craftspeople and Hobbyists:
Rosin is an excellent friction agent. Model makers use it on vise jaws and holding fixtures to stabilize small parts. Rosin works great on intricate components and flat surfaces to prevent slipping. Apply rosin anywhere you need to increase friction. Helps keep floor mats non-slip and your workshop injury-free.
Athletes and Sportspersons:
Rosin gives you a winning edge against the competition. A little rosin powder on your hands and sports equipment handles makes for a secure grasp. Use it on baseball & cricket bats, tennis & badminton rackets, golf clubs, or any surface that requires a solid no-nonsense grip. Apply directly on baseballs, pistol grips, or any object to prevent slippage. Try it directly on mats and floors. A little on the soles of basketball shoes, weightlifting boots, or bowling shoes improves traction. Rosin powder helps boxing and fencing champs dance strategically around their opponents. Rodeo riders use rosin on gloves and bull rope for a strong, tough hold.

100% pure Beeswax and Rosin
Traditional and Natural BoneGrip wheels are the classic choice.
Traditional
Beeswax and Rosin Powder
This is what Percy Danforth used. The Traditional style is a wheel of 100% pure beeswax sprinkled with 100% pure hand-pulverized rosin. For best results, knead rosin powder into surface of wax wheel. The best time to work rosin into beeswax is during warm weather when wax softens easier. You can replenish the wheel from time to time by sprinkling a pinch of powdered rosin into the screw-top container and shaking it.
- 100% pure beeswax plus a pinch of 100% pure rosin.
- Includes free vial of hand-pulverized rosin powder.
Natural
The rosin is in the wax!
Frankly, it is a pain to knead rosin into a chunk of beeswax. That is why Natural BoneGrip was created. The wheel is made from 100% pure beeswax infused with 100% pure hand-pulverized rosin. It is a tad gummier than the Traditional version, but works like a charm. The residue seems to last longer on the bones too. This is now my favorite gripping aid.
- 100% pure beeswax infused with 100% pure rosin.
- Rosin content: 25%
Scented Beeswax and Rosin
Scented BoneGrip is rather lush - and still quite experimental.
Lavender
The rosin is in the wax!
This wheel is substantially gummier than the others. I don't know why it is gummier. But it is. I hold no degree in gripology, so my guess is a chemical reaction with the scent or coloring agent causes the extra gumminess. But no matter. The end result is an extraordinary BoneGrip product that offers you a new dimension of gripness.
"I'm still experimenting with the BoneGrip wax," says Ken Wolin, a remarkable bone player who serves as a percussionist with 'The President's Own' United States Marine Band. "So far my favorite is the Lavender, which I primarily use for my bodhran tipper."
