Why is the violin's bow bigger than the basses bow?
It isn't. A violin bow is longer than a bass bow, although the bass bow has is much wider with a thicker wooden shaft, and is thus two or three times heavier. Violin bows are longer because the higher in pitch a string is, the faster bow you need. Basses have very thick strings, so they don't need to move their bows very fast, and don't need as long a bow. Besides, if it were as long as a violin bow, it would be too heavy for most people to play!

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.

Is the violin or clarinet harder to play?
Well it depends. In clarinet, you have to blow to get your musical notes. In violin, you have to just move your bow across a string. I would probably say a clarinet is harder. You have to blow and waste your breath!A second Opinion...Well, realistically I would say violin is harder because in clarinet the notes are all there for you. In violin you have to find the notes by ear and shift the position when the music says to. Plus, most violin players do the vibrato. You also have to hold the violin near the shoulder or on it. Clarinet you just have to hold it with hands which is much easier. The violin is also deemed the hardest instrument to play.I disagree. When you play the violin, all you have to do is move your hands. When you play clarinet you have to, controll embachure, cover the holes, and maintain good air. So clarinet is hands down harder.
