<h2 class="MsoNormal"><span>Amber for the preparation of oil paints</span></h2> <p class="MsoNormal"><span>The <strong>Amber Colophony</strong> is prepared by exposing Amber to a short-term temperature which occurs in vacuum, coupled with the simultaneous separation of the gaseous and liquid elimination products, results in the formation of a particularly high-quality rosin which is free from extraneous substances and is particularly suitable for the production of oil varnishes. </span><span lang="it" xml:lang="it">The reaction takes place at 300-450 Celsius.</span></p> <h3 class="MsoNormal"><span lang="it" xml:lang="it">It is above all indicated for the production of high quality varnishes in lutherie</span></h3> <h3>Our evaluation on the use of <strong style="font-size:11px;">amber Colophony</strong></h3> <p><span style="font-size:11px;">At </span><strong style="font-size:11px;">Grandi Liutai</strong><span style="font-size:11px;">, we have </span><strong style="font-size:11px;">evaluated the use</strong><span style="font-size:11px;"> of</span><strong style="font-size:11px;"> amber Colophony</strong><span style="font-size:11px;"> and found that its main function is to confer greater resistance and hardness to the paint, while also improving its adhesion. However, the use of </span><strong style="font-size:11px;">amber Colophony</strong><span style="font-size:11px;"> in the preparation of oil paints presents some unique characteristics. Firstly, it is necessary to have a reliable source of high-quality amber, as its purity and properties can vary significantly. We have found that the processing of </span><strong style="font-size:11px;">amber Colophony</strong><span style="font-size:11px;"> can be complicated and require the use of specialized equipment. Despite these disadvantages, we have seen that the use of pyrolyzed amber can bring numerous advantages in the preparation of high-quality oil paints. Paints containing pyrolyzed amber have greater wear resistance, adhesion, and durability over traditional oil paints. In addition, </span><strong style="font-size:11px;">amber Colophony</strong><span style="font-size:11px;"> can improve the transparency and brightness of the paint, giving paintings a more vibrant and brilliant appearance. In summary, Grandi Liutai is satisfied with the use of </span><strong style="font-size:11px;">amber Colophony</strong><span style="font-size:11px;"> in the preparation of oil paints, which may require some attention and expertise but can lead to extremely satisfying results.

<p>Blocks are important elements in the construction of violins, playing a crucial role in the structure and optimization of the instrument's sound. Blocks can be made from different types of wood, but the most common are spruce and willow.</p> <p>Spruce blocks are often used in violins because this type of wood has good resistance and uniform density, allowing for the even transmission of string vibrations.</p> <p>Willow is known for its flexibility and strength, making it an excellent choice for violin blocks. Additionally, willow has the ability to transmit vibrations evenly, allowing for better response to lower notes.</p> <p>The choice of one or the other depends on the preferences of the luthier and the desired sound result.</p>

<h2>counterform for violin, viola and cello</h2> <p>The counterform “La Stabile” is a classic of our production. Born over 20 years ago from an idea of ​​a Cremonese luthier, it was then redesigned and implemented over time following the many tips of the luthiers who use it. The basic idea of ​​this simple design is to keep the top or back of the violin tightly in the stops, without damaging the profile. Starting from this concept we have created a mechanics that pushes on the edges diagonally, and not sideways (like all other counterforms in the market) where the grain of the wood is fragile. Solid Finnish birch plywood and other simple but high-quality materials are ideal to ensure that this indispensable tool remains strong and stable over decades, especially for luthiers who use it daily.</p> <h3>Counter form in birch for stringed instruments</h3> <p><iframe width="250" height="250" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/IQOg7u6L0xc" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>

<h2>The most used resin for violins and bows</h2> <p>Rosin is a solid resin derived from the oleo-resin (crude turpentine) exuded by various species of pine tree. Rosin is extracted by heating the oleo-resin to vaporise the essential oils (spirit of turpentine), or through a naphtha solvent process. Rosin is mainly produced in Portugal and Brazil but Indonesia, northern Vietnam, southern China, the US, Mexico and France are also producers.</p> <p>Rosin is sold as a semi-transparent solid ranging in colour from yellow to black and has a faint odour of pine. The commercial grades range from A (the darkest) to K (yellow red), M (yellow brown) and N (deep yellow), through to superior WG ("Window Glass", yellow) and WW ("Water White", slight yellow) sold here by Grandi Liutai Italiani. Rosin is brittle and easily crumbled at room temperature, but melts at around 100-120 °C and is highly flammable. Rosin dissolves in alcohol, benzene, chloroform and ether. It is also soluble in spirit of turpentine and turpentine substitute.</p> <h3>Our evaluation of Portuguese Clear Rosin flakes</h3> <p>We at <strong>Grandi Liutai</strong> have evaluated the use of the Portuguese Clear Rosin Flakes - 100 g in our luthier laboratories, and we are very satisfied with the results. We have found that it is a high-quality product with numerous positive characteristics in the production and maintenance of stringed musical instruments. The Portuguese Clear Rosin Flakes - 100 g has proven to be a high-quality product, ideal for producing a clear and crystalline sound in stringed instruments such as violins, cellos, violas, and double basses. We have also noticed that this rosin is suitable for all types of strings, whether steel or gut. Secondly, we evaluated its ease of use. The rosin flakes dissolve easily. Additionally, the consistency of the rosin allows for easy manipulation, making it ideal for hand applications. Thirdly, we evaluated the durability and stability of the rosin. We at Grandi Liutai have found that the Portuguese Clear Rosin Flakes - 100 g maintains its long-term adhesion, even in hot and humid environments. This makes it ideal for industrial applications that require strong long-term adhesion. In summary, our evaluation of the use of the Portuguese Clear Rosin Flakes - 100 g in <strong>musical instruments is extremely positive</strong>. Its high quality, the consistency of the flakes, durability, and safety in use make it an ideal choice for every musician, whether professional or amateur.
