Holding the rosin correctly can lengthen the lifespan of your rosin. Rotate the rosin from to avoid making a groove. Covering the frog ferrule with a finger will help keep from chipping the rosin and prolong its life. Using too much rosin is both wastefu
If your bow has not been pre-rosined, you’ll get to do it yourself. A brand new, unrosined bow needs to be passed up and down, from bottom to top, across the surface of the rosin about 40- or, even 50-times, to develop the slightly abrasive surface you’re looking (listening)...

How Rosin Works “The first impression that I always have to work with is that bow hair has scales on it that grab the string and make it vibrate, which is not at all the case,” says renowned acoustics expert Norman Pickering in a recent chat withStringsauthor James McKean (read our ...
"rosin" is applied to the bows of string instruments because of its ability to add friction to bow hairs to increase sound quality. It is used similarly in sports to provide tack to grip bats and balls. Ballet dancers may apply crushed resin to their shoes to increase grip on a slippery...
But aside from rosin press I think that not a healthy option for me anyway. I love this plant I have lots of old people health issues and have been on pain meds for decades. They have stolen a good chunk of my sole, w / MMJ I have reduced and soon hope to be off. So I am ...
Those are the pieces that are going to work really well for learning this concept. It's a simple concept to apply, and once you get that ingrained in you as you play, you can add a little bit of bow distribution and dynamics to your playing and combine that with a little bit of a...
These patients had been exposed to a median of two previous treatment regimens, including bortezomib or lenalidomide. An ORR of 72% was reported in another phase 2 study in patients who had received one to four previous lines of treatment. At the time of analysis, median OS had not been ...
community answer rosin increases the friction between the bow and the strings, allowing the string to vibrate more and make a sound. if you are using a new bow, you are playing the violin correctly, and there is still no noise, then you should apply rosin to the bow. thanks! we're ...
