The Original Bernardel Rosin For Violin - Viola - Cello

I literally don’t know if there are any cons, it’s just perfect for Evah Pirazzi green with not an expensive bow.Cons:• Price• Bright sound• Almost no dust flying from a good rosined bow• The quality and the whole package• Has a small bag to keep it fresher and a cloth that keep your hands clean• It’s just aesthetic)Absolutely love it

Bought for sons Cello bow...he says it works perfectly

PROS:I could tell you in a normal way that this rosin reduced my scratchiness a lot, and made my playing smoother, that I rubbed the surface with a nail file to make it easier to get on the bow, or that the rosin and cloth it's wrapped in as well as it's pouch are very nice...... however.....Let me tell you a tale, long, long ago..... about yesterday, I was using the student quality rosin that came with my violin. In preparation for the coming of my new rosin, I cleaned my bow hair by loosening it a bit and brushing it with a soft bristle toothbrush, er.... I mean I steeled myself for combat! Today from the sky came the orange stone of resonance, (this Bernardel Rosin!) upon rosining my bow to prepare for the battle I noticed it's otherworldly quality, then I tested my newfound blade! My scratchy sounds from my rusty old sword (student rosin) were no more, and now I am ready to practice once again, all in order to....(Learn to play the violin well!) FORGE AHEAD TO THE HALLOWED HALLS OF VALHALLA!CONS: My violin case's storage spot with the little door is too small with it in the pouch, so I put it under my violin neck. Although it fits if I fold the pouch. I don't know if this will cause creases in the pouch or not, but that's just a thing that I would rather avoid personally because the pouch looks nice although they could probably save money and make it slightly cheaper if the pouch was smaller as it would require less materials. I don't believe this is enough to remove a star though.

I'm relatively new to the violin, but so far this is my third try at rosin. The first was a "light" cake and very hard. I had to re-apply after every practice. The second was a dark rosin. When I opened it, the rosin surface was very pitted and the rosin would flake off the cake in shards It must have been old. I should have returned it I suppose.This one was a big improvement. It is easy to use and applies smoothly and evenly. It does last longer on the bow than the first one. It doesn't create excessive dust. It is grippier than either of the first two. That will take a bit of getting used to, but I think I'll like it. Not only does it come attached to a microfiber cloth to make it easy to hold and wrap, it has a dark blue "velvet" pouch that is very pretty and adds another layer of cushion and protection.

I'm a bluegrass flatpicker/thumbpicker. I play 5-string banjo, mandolin, and guitar. I use this rosin on my fingerTIPS to improve my grip of all types of picks. I find it especially useful in hot, humid weather when perspiration and humidity make it difficult to maintain a grip on modern, low friction, slippery picks such as BlueChips and casein picks. These types of picks are fantastic for reducing string noise because they are so low friction, but grip is certainly compromised. Thus, out comes the rosin. This is the finest rosin I've discovered to date for this purpose. I'll pass on the Gorilla Snot.

Improves sound quality, but a bit pricey.

Great rosin

I love the bag that the rising comes in with.
