Chinese Custom Officers Claim Violin Rosin is an Explosive

Word is circulating today that a number of string players have had their rosin confiscated, from their cases at Chinese airports, in recent weeks - with airport officials claiming it is a potential explosive.

A Hong Kong newspaper, Mingpao has reported cellist Trey Lee’s rosin was seized when departing Shanghai International airport earlier this month - with lengthy claims to its potential security risk.
