Decided to spend the extra and have found it to greatly improved my tone and the general responsiveness of my bow

It gives excellent tone and produces almost no powder on the violin.

Excellent tone, allows smooth bow strokes and made most articulations easy

I never question whether or not I'll get a clean tone from this rosin

Bought for my daughter and she really likes how it cleans up the tones for her compared to the $4 block she got when she rented her first violin.

It's worth the extra money if you need a consistent strong sound.

Great product, great customer service.

good product,good service

Excellent tone, allows smooth bow strokes and made most articulations easy

The directions strongly recommend no more than four strokes of the rosin on the bow hair when applying this rosin and they're quite right

Gives great clarity with sautille, spiccato, and pulls a smooth legato

There is no hissing sound and the clarity is very nice

it's not great or better than good 10$ rosins

I used a big chunk of it on a brand new bow, it worked wonders

I've used this with both my violin and viola, and it is simply the best rosin I've used to-date

This is the best rosin i've ever used

I cleaned the strings and the bow of rosin and tried it again.. better but that little wispy white noise in my ears really drove me insane

The bow tracks along the strings more smoothly and it gives my cheap bow an almost "buttery" quality

I ordered this and before it arrived I cleaned my bow of all rosin, first with some violin cleaner then soap and water so that it was as soundless as a new bow.

So I took it to the luthier when I had to fix something else on the violin and asked him to help me clean the bow

And I decided when I cleaned the bow, I would upgrade the rosin

Can't blame the product for my short comings but, for me, it didn't rate the 5th star.

product~~~~~ i hate the reminder of several more words

Seems to have improved the sound of my daughters violin.

It produces a good sound and you know immediately when you're needing rosin

We were so frustrated with the scratchy sound we were getting when playing

And as I said - I love the sound that it makes my violin produce.

Even with my fairly low skill level of only being okay at the basics, and having a low-quality, grainy sounding, raspy brazilwood bow, paired with a beginner level violin, I could hear a difference
