WHICH ROSIN SHOULD I USE?

High quality rosin allows for perfect bowing without scratchy sounds, especially if only a thin layer of rosin is applied. The general rule is:

• Violinists and Violists use a harder, dryer rosin
• Cellists use a medium strong rosin
• Bassists a softer rosin

   Another important aspect for choosing the right rosin is the core material of the string that are being used:

• Steel strings are easier played if you use a hard, dry rosin

• For synthetic, gut and gut wound strings use a softer rosin
