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.
