What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Violin and viola sizing
Formulated for the thinner strings of violin and viola, not the heavier gauges on cello or bass.
Detail 03
Cake format
You rub the bow hair across the block. No applicator, no liquid, nothing to dry out.
Detail 04
Price under six dollars
Cheap enough to buy two and leave one in a second case or a school locker.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Rosin only. Bow, hair and case are separate purchases.
- 02New bow hair needs several passes before it grips at all.
- 03Cakes crack if dropped on a hard floor, so seat it in its holder.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How often do I apply rosin?
Most players do a few strokes every one or two sessions. If the bow slides and the tone thins out, apply more.
02Can I use this on a cello bow?
It is made for violin and viola. Cello and bass bows generally want a softer, stickier rosin to move the thicker strings.
03What is the difference between light and dark rosin?
Light rosin is harder and less tacky, so it grips more gently. Dark is softer and grabbier. This one is the light type.
04How long does one cake last?
A cake is consumed very slowly. A student practicing daily will typically get well over a year out of one.
