What is the name of the gum that is rubbed on the bow hairs in a stringed instrument such as a violin or cello?
This gum is called rosin. It provides friction between the bow hairs and the strings of the instrument, which causes the strings to vibrate when stroked with the bow.
Can a violin bow wear out?
yes it can get worn out if you touch the bow hairs enough. first it will start to turn brown then it will not play when you run the bow down the strings.
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.

How violin produces vibrations?
When the bow is rubbed against the strings, microscopic hairs on the hair of the bow create immense friction with the string. This causes the string to vibrate rapidly. The vibrating string, in turn, causes the violin to vibrate.

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.
