In 1912 Ernst Petzka - a musician who lived in Vienna
- established after many years of experimentation Petz Kolophonium.
It was received by international musicians to great acclaim.
Today production is still made by hand - piece by piece - using
the best raw materials.
The bass rosin is cast in an aluminium container and packaged
in a distinctive green tub with the logo of a bear playing a double
bass in front of a pine forest. If the name Petz doesn't stick
in the memory too well - the green tub and logo certainly does.
The cleaver piece of marketing - whether by accident or design
- has helped establish the brand as a firm favourite amongst bass
players worldwide.
There are four grades available. At The Contrabass Shoppe we find
No3 - Medium is absolutely perfect for most users for it sticks
to the surface of the bow hair in just the right amounts and produces
just the right amount of grip, keeps secondary noise to a minimum
and improves the range of tones.
