Additional information
What are the different types of rosin, and which should I use?
Players
of lower instruments generally prefer softer rosin, requiring more
stickiness to move their thicker strings. Players of violin and viola
may prefer harder rosin for faster bow speeds and ease of bow response.
Dark
rosin is usually slightly softer. However, one should not choose rosin
solely on the basis of color since soft and hard rosin can be made in
any color.
NOTE: Most players use too much rosin on their bow
hair and rosin too often, resulting in a rough, gritty sound, and rosin
build-up on their instruments. You can avoid this by applying only a
small amount of rosin (3-4 swipes) at the beginning of every playing
session. Wipe down your instrument and strings at the end of every
playing session to avoid rosin build-up.
