∙ 10y agoActually, it depends how much you use it- if the bow starts having trouble making the sounds, it's time to put rosin on your bow!!

Is there a difference between violin and bass rosin?

What equipment do you need to play the violin?
A violin, a bow, rosin, a case and a cloth to wipe the rosin off of the strings before you put it away.
Why do you need to add rosin to a violin bow?
You use rosin (resin is what comes out of the tree in it's raw state), on bows (this goes for violin, viola, cello, and bass bows) so that the bow can get a good grip on the strings and make a sound. New bows will need to be rosined a good amount because it hasn't been played yet and rosin hasn't taken a hold on the bow hairs yet. A bow that has been used before and been played for a while doesn't need as much rosin as a new bow because there is already rosin on the bow hairs. If you don't rosin your bow every once in a while, the sound that will be produced will sound wierd.
How do you apply violin rosin?
You basically rub the hairs of the bow onto the rosin. But, the rosin has to be scraped to gab onto the bow hairs. But good rosin does no need to be scraped before using. I one bought a violin that came with a free rosin and I rubbed it on for half an hour and nothing went on. I then bought a more expensive piece of rosin and it worked just fine.
