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 as follows:

• violinists and violists use a harder, dryer rosin
• cellists use a medium strong rosin
• bassists use 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, a softer rosin is recommended. Moreover, experienced players prefer softer rosin when playing in a studio and harder rosin in a concert hall. Hard rosin works best in tropical climates while soft rosin is good for cold climates.

Pirastro develops their own specific rosin and design it according to the technical requirements of their different string lines. That is also the reason why they name their rosin after the brand names of their violin and viola string lines.
