Just in case some of you have tried far more of these rosins than I,

Does any one here have a preference to a certain type of rosin for a particular type of string make.

I'm using pirastro T's and Hindersine rosin and was wondering if it actually makes any difference what type of rosin I use, Would the Pirastro rosin be better suited to those strings. ?

Hi

Well, I don't think rosin actually affects how well you play.
However, some rosins last longer than others. The darker
the rosin, the less you have to put on your bow.
So my conclusion being, its more about how much money
you are wasting/saving.

Hope this helps!


Well it certainly won't magically cure those tricky bits (sorry Jacobi (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ), but like Lib says, the bow is sooo smooth in comparison to a cheaper rosin. It costs about twice as much, but I reckon I use under half as much, so as long as I don't smash it or lose it, it should all even out in the end! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
