Hold end of bow (frog end) in right hand in firm grip. 2. take rosin in left hand and hold one end. do not touch the other end of the rosin with your hand 3. Put the end of the rosin that you are not touching with your left hand and place in contact with horsehair on tip of bow (not frog end) 4. Gently rub rosin on bow, sliding up and down horsehair.

∙ 13y agoTo really choose a good violin you really need to be able to hear it play in person. You want a violin that can play very bright, but can also be toned down to play softer and more soothing. As for the bow rosin, there are two types of rosin, light and dark. They both sound basically the same, however, some rosins are much more high quality. There are even some with gold flecks in them. You can talk to the clerk of the music store your in because they usually can give you decent info about the rosin and which ones are higher quality.

Occasionally. If it is used once, that's fine. But, cello rosin has more grit than violin rosin because the cello's strings are thicker. If a violinist used cello rosin (instead of violin), the bow hair will become very gritty and you may need to get a rehair.
