Bow strings are often treated with a wax or lubricant to enhance their durability and performance. This substance helps protect the fibers from moisture and wear, reducing fraying and improving the string's lifespan. Additionally, waxing can help decrease friction between the string and the arrow, leading to better accuracy and smoother release. Common options include specialized bow string waxes made from beeswax or synthetic materials.
Nope, just keep the bow on the strings.
Yes. It can also be played without a bow by plucking or slapping the strings. There are some songs in which doesn't use a bow at all for a double bass. Other songs, though, will require that the bow be used the entire song. There are songs that encorporate both the bow and 'plucking' the strings. For tuning purposes, a bow is most likely to be used.

It's called rosin. Rosin is a resin from trees and, when it's rubbed on the hair of the bow of a stringed instrument, it helps the hair grip the strings better to produce a strong sound. We should not touch the bow's hairs because the grease on our fingers will stick to the rosin. The grease then spoils the bow's hairs from gripping the strings properly - making the bow tend to slip over the strings - which makes the bow much harder to use to play its instrument.
Rosin is typically used on the bow to increase friction between the bow hair and the strings of the instrument, allowing for better sound production.
Rosin, a solid form of resin, is commonly used on bows for string instruments to increase friction between the bow and the strings. This helps create a clearer and more consistent sound by allowing the bow to grip the strings better as it is drawn across them.
Rosin is the substance typically applied to the bow hairs of string instruments to create enough friction for them to vibrate the strings and produce sound.

Dominant synthetic core strings actually increase a longevity of a bow. They are used by many professionals as a step up from the stock string, and create a better, more pure sound.
