Can I use any type of rosin for my violin bow?
Different types of rosin are available, tailored to different instruments and climates. Violinists typically use a lighter, harder rosin. The choice of rosin can depend on factors like humidity, the type of strings you use, and personal preference. Orchestra musicians can prefer brown, softer rosin; soloists often choose clearer and brighter ones. Here is how to select your rosin.
