 Much better than I had been lead to believe was possible September 1, 2010
Jason Wills-Starin (Raleigh, NC)
To fulfill a sort of decade by decade bucket list, my wife bought me a violin for Christmas. I can read music, I can even play other instruments, but my goal is to learn to play a traditional fiddle and play mountain tunes. For now, I'm playing on a good beginners violin. Injury put me out for a few months recently, but I'm moving through the beginners books. One problem hit me early on. The hard rosin they sent with the violin seemed to be working poorly. Gummed up the violin and after two or three minutes, the bow demanded more rosin.
This rosin works like the videos on youtube, the instruction DVD and the books say it should. Smooth on, use the cloth to get a good grip on the base between thumb and forefinger, and play it like it's the strings. The rounded surface and the confident grip soundly replaces the box held rosin and from the semi-pros I ask for advice is the right rosin and the right result. I couldn't be happier, but I am a beginner and merely playing this by ear and a bit of research.
 Best I have Tried August 7, 2010

Not too bad. I was expecting it to be a little softer, but it is way better than the original rosin that I got with my violin. I don't have a lot of experience with rosins, but this does exactly what it advertises and works just fine.
Great product July 13, 2008

I tend to use softer rosins in low humidity settings, and lighter rosins in high humidity. Hill dark rosin works wonderfully, especially in winter, when heated rooms are often very low in humidity. The rosin enables the hairs to grip the strings without being sticky, and gives a beautiful clean sound. If you're experiencing problems with playing in a low-humidity setting, this is the first product to try.
Nice rosin; just what my music instructor recommended June 30, 2008

This is a much better rosin than what my violin came with. Make the violin tone sound a lot better when I play the right notes.
