Anyone live in Denver and play a bow/string instrument know where to get rosin? |
|
I'm experimenting with a technique called col legno tratto, which is drawing wood across the strings of an instrument instead of the horse hairs. Instead of using a real bow or a normal string instrument I'm using an electric guitar, but the wood alone (which I filled in a wooden dowel for) doesn't produce enough friction to make a sound without being amplified to the nines.
Where do I buy rosin in Denver CO? Is it relatively cheap, like a couple bucks? Online it is, but I'd have to wait for it, and I'm working on a song with it, so I'd really like to have it today. I don't know where to go.

1. I'd check with instrument shops |
|
When I used to play, I went to Kolacny on South Broadway (for trumpet stuff). I think there's a different shop on West Colfax also, not too far from Kipling.
Not sure about Sunday hours, but I'd start with a call to them.

Thanks for the help, sorry it took so long to get back, I've been busy!
