In 2020, Cremona in America renames ANDREA rosin CECILIA
A New Era of Cremona in America
In 2020, Cremona in America renamed ANDREA rosin CECILIA.
The name CECILIA is both the name of the patron saint of musicians as well as the name of my beloved mother who passed away in 2019. Her wonderful love was a constant source of support and inspiration. In honor of my mother and musicians, and to celebrate the new decade, all premium rosins from CiA will be made under the name CECILIA starting in 2020. CECILIA Rosin series are now available worldwide. The formulas and the making process for SOLO, A Piacere and Sanctus remain the same. The Signature Formula is the newest addition to this premium rosin collection. Cremona in America is aware that it will take a period of time before the new CECILIA rosin replaces the previous ANDREA rosin entirely on the worldwide market. Cremona in America will continue to look after everyone who purchases rosins made by Cremona in America under the ANDREA brand name for as long as it stays on the market.

Glenn Dicterow loves the CECILIA Rosin "Signature Formula"
Legendary Violinist Glenn Dicterow's Personal Letter
"Dear Peter,
I have been trying out your new “Signature Formula” from your CECILIA Rosin collection and I really love it.
It is strong but not too grainy creating a full and rich sound. It also lasts longer so I don’t have to rosin my bow as often.
I have tried at least 30 different brands of rosins over the years, but CECILIA Signature is my favorite.
Bravo! "

CECILIA Rosins are available in 4 types of formula
Signature Formula
CiA’s new flagship formula of CECILIA Rosin which provides a unique bowing sensation when in contact with the string and a clearly defined reaction. This is the most significant new development in our rosin formulas from CiA for the most demanding musicians. It helps the bow to give rich, full and expressive tones without excessive bite.
Solo
CiA’s long time popular formula that focuses on providing maximum projection as well as articulation. It is also forgiving under high bow pressure on the strings without the sound cracking. However, some musicians may find more effort is needed to create sensitivity in soft passages.
A Piacere
It offers a well blended, refined sound with slightly less projection than the SOLO formula. Admirers have described this special formula as giving a ‘silkier sound.' A Piacere is a good alternative to the ORCHESTRA formula which is discontinued as of 2020. The formula is based on the ‘Tartini Green' rosin that was available for just four years back in 2002.
Sanctus
Initially introduced as CiA’s 10th Anniversary Special in 2018. Two rosin formulas with different properties in one unique block. The outer ring formula gives a silky smooth bowing experience with a focused sound on the strings. The center formula kicks in when the player demands more power and gutsiness from their instrument.
Formulas for CECILIA SOLO, A Piacere, and Sanctus are identical to the ones produced under the name "ANDREA"
