How do you apply rosin to a violin bow?

Community Answer 1

If you have not used the rosin on your bow before, take a nail file and file the top of the rosin down so that it looks a bit scratchy. Then run the scratchy side of the rosin up and down the horsehair of the bow in long even strokes. You know you have enough rosin on your bow when you draw the bow across the string and it leaves a white rosin trace. Remember to wipe off your strings with a towel when you're done playing to keep the rosin from building up. When applying rosin to the string do not touch the horsehair with your hand because the oils from your hand will ruin the horsehair if you touch it too much.

Only poor quality or old rosin needs to be scratched before use. I would recommend that having a clear tone tells you when you have enough rosin, if you go as far as leaving rosin dust on the string, you definitely have enough.

Which is the largest out of the violin viola cello and bass?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Truthfully I would say that bass is the best instrument. That is if you are looking for a challenge. It is a very large instrument with a large range of notes that can range from a low E (or B if you have a extension or five string bass) to a high G or D. If you want a beautiful instrument you can play cello or violin. But unless you are amazing at either of those instruments you are not going to get very far. There is much less competition if you play bass. This is a completely biased opinion. I hope your instrument searching goes well!
