"Colonel" Greg Marsee - Kentucky Rosin Maker & Violin Maker & Orchestra Teacher

After conducting over 150 interviews for the Rosin the Bow project in the United States and in Europe with musicians, violin makers, composers, tone wood experts, string designers, violin shop owners, bow makers, museum curators, and others, I realized I had yet to interview a violin rosin maker. This led me to travel to Kentucky where I sat down with a man of many parts: orchestra teacher in the public schools, a violin restorer, a violin maker, and, yes, a rosin maker. Perhaps you'll learn something from our conversation about the different aspects of rosin making that you didn't know before. I can say, I sure did.
