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. ?

I love Goldflex too, and have found you don't need much. I always used to break the surface if the Hidersine one but didn't actually need to with the Goldflex.
It's lovely - enjoy! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
