>I eventually licensed my product to the Super Sensitive Musical String

>Company and they market a series of synthetic bow rosins called

>Clarity. They have decided to primarily market Clarity as

>hypoallergenic and it ís now available over the web and most instrument

>stores.

 

>By the way, we are using fully hydrogenated dicyclopentadiene (DCPD)

>resins as replacements for rosins. They are commonly used in adhesives

>for surgical tapes and diaper construction adhesives and have been

>extensively tested for allergenic effects.

>Oh, and if you happen to play violin, especially the delightful Swedish

>fiddle tunes, let me know and I’ll send you some Clarity.
