D'Addario Natural Violin & Cello Rosin, Light

Long lasting and gets the job done. Wasn’t too heavy and great value for the money. My 10 year old used this with his violin and overall I know rosin helps sound quality but this fit right into his carrying case as this didn’t come in one, just a paper box.

Great price

Ever thought about taking a violin bow to your guitar strings? Neither did I, until I did. And let me tell you, it's like finding out your coffee machine can also make perfect pizza. Sounds bizarre, tastes incredible. Here's the scoop: I took this violin rosin, typically the trusty sidekick of violinists far and wide, and introduced it to my guitar via a bow. Yes, a bow. It's like deciding to ride a horse to work instead of driving—unconventional, yet surprisingly majestic. Applying this rosin to the bow before serenading my guitar strings has been a game-changer. The rosin acts like a motivational coach for the bow, giving it the grip and friction it needs to pull soul-stirring melodies out of the guitar. The result? Notes that sing with a clarity and resonance you just can't coax out with traditional plucking or strumming. It's as if my guitar has discovered its operatic voice, hitting notes that vibrate with an emotional depth I hadn't unearthed before. And here's where it gets fun. There's a certain rogue pleasure in cross-pollinating musical techniques, like a mad scientist mixing elements to create something new. Using violin rosin on a bow for the guitar feels like breaking the rules for all the right reasons, turning every strum into an experiment that ends in an auditory feast. So, for those adventurous souls who dare to bow their guitars, this violin rosin is your secret weapon. It's the passport to a new realm of musical expression, where guitars don't just strum or pick; they sing with the soul of a string quartet. In the end, this violin rosin and my guitar bow have formed an alliance that's nothing short of revolutionary. It's not just playing music; it's about crafting an experience that's as unique as putting pineapple on pizza—unexpected, a bit controversial, but utterly delightful. 10/10, would bow my guitar into musical bliss again."

I’ve been playing the violin for a while now, and finding a good rosin that’s both easy to use and effective can be a bit of a challenge. This one caught my attention because of its simple design and how well it grips the bow hair. The first time I used it, I noticed that it went on smoothly without making a mess, which is always a plus. Some rosins can be too powdery or sticky, but this one sits in a nice balance between the two. The packaging is simple but practical. The grip makes it easier to hold, which is something I didn’t think about much until I used rosins without it. It definitely helps, especially when I’m in a rush before a lesson and need to apply it quickly. What stands out to me is how consistent it is. Some rosins wear down unevenly or get flaky over time, but this one has held up well. I don’t have to reapply too often, and when I do, a few strokes are enough to refresh the bow. That makes a difference when I’m going through long practice sessions and don’t want to keep stopping to add more rosin. Another thing that makes it great for me is how compact it is. It fits easily in my case, so I don’t have to worry about misplacing it. I’ve had larger rosins before, and they tend to take up unnecessary space. This one is simple and convenient. When it comes to performance, I’d say it does its job well. The bow catches the strings smoothly, and the sound is clear without feeling too harsh. It works well for both slow, expressive pieces and faster passages where I need a bit more control. I also like that it doesn’t leave too much dust on my instrument, which means less cleaning after practice. The only thing I’d say is that the plastic holder feels a little flimsy. It hasn’t broken on me yet, but I do wonder how well it will hold up over time, especially with frequent use. Still, for the price and the performance, I think it’s a solid choice.

I bought this rosin when I was first starting cello lessons, and it's still my favorite 3 years later! Dark rosin is the best! It's a very reasonable price and lasts ages. It doesn't crack easily and rubs onto the bow so well! I'd recommend this for all cellists!

Great product. Works as desired

I purchased this for a different purpose than that which is intended. I needed the rosin to mix with turpentine to make tack cloths for woodworking. I learned this trick from an old woodworking friend. I can make a large quantity of tack cloths using cheesecloth, rosin, and turpentine in a sealed metal container much cheaper than buying the little tack cloths in the same quantity. I also know people who use this rosin for it's intended purpose and they highly recommend it.

D'ADARIO NEVER disappoints- nice, opaque and creamy, not dried out or rocky. Applies flawlessly and smoothly anbd plays perfectly. THANK YOU D'Addario!
