More than "invented", violin rosin is an adaptation of natural tree pitch, or hardened sap.
It is believed that the earliest violin rosins were no more than hardened pitch pulled from trees and utilized as is.
That lead to melting the pitch in order to pour it into more convenient shapes, ie cakes.
From there in an effort to create better and more consistent rosin, makers began to experiment with additives. For example, the addition of beeswax was found to create a less brittle rosin.
The added ingredients in different rosins run the full spectrum from gold flakes to meteorite dust and everything in between and exact ingredients are often closely guarded secrets.
In order to produce high volumes of product many modern rosin makers have turned to utilizing a hardened by-product of the paper industry often called Sylvaros rather than fresh tree sap or pitch.
Violin rosin is generally based from pine tree sap/colophony, but some rosins include colophony from other kinds of conifer trees.
Rosin is sticky hard tree sap that string players rub on bow hair so the bow is sticky, without it the violin produces a muffled sound
No. Bow rosin is bow rosin.
violin rosin can go bad if there is hot weather or there is a sudden change of heat,so keep your violin cool or just get a new rosin which can cost $2.00. just don't put a lot on your strings or it will become black. so keep your rosin safe in your violin case. :)
A violin, a bow, rosin, a case and a cloth to wipe the rosin off of the strings before you put it away.
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.
im pretty sure you mean rosin so rosin costs about 10.00 to 25.00 it depends on what you want

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.
depends on what you bargain for. Normally: violin, bow, case and maybe rosin
Do you mean rosin? To rosin the bow, you get some rosin from your music store, and rub it along the bow hairs a couple of times.

A main use for rosin is to put it on a violin bow before playing, which gives the bow grip.
1. there are 4 strings g, d, a, and e. 2. the standard size of a violin is 4/4. 3. to play the violin you need a bow with rosin. 4. rosin is made from a tree sap usually pine. 5. it is best to use a chinrest on a violin.
Every week or so...

It sounds like you are referring to "rosin".
