How to rosin your bow for the first time. A new bow may not have any rosin. If you use it to play it will not make any sound. You need to put enough rosin on your bow to make a layer of powdery rosin over the full length of the bow hair.

Thank you. Just got myself a violin, going to self teach myself to play it. You're my first RUclips guide on it 👍👍
me as well! just received one for Christmas. any tips and/or tricks?
@@abbyclaywell9526 Good for you! 👍 👍 Firstly, practice the fingering points by plucking.
@@abbyclaywell9526 sameee loll
Me too
Same here. But, my wife bought me this violin as a present 🎁
Got my bow rosined up for the first time. Thanks for this video.
So helpful for me! It’s my first time playing Viola, so I needed some guidance!
it would be nice to see the actual rosin, which side to use on a new one, what the powder on the bow looks like etc. I'm completely new to this and am still just as lost after watching this video.
eric matthews
I was in a instrument shop and the guy took out the rosin and yeah he broke it by mistake.. it just looked like glass and powder so...
@@adrians.v.s.k2777 yeah its basically an orangey-brown glossy glass.
what? lol. this was very easy specific steps spoken clearly and to the point.
Its a yellow-ish glass, it looks like a dried lolipop without a stick. You just rub it on your bow until you see some white powder on it
I agree, even though I have some and know what it looks like.
My daughter just graduated from High School and has decided to study the violin while going to college. This video was great for explaining the do's and don't's of putting Rosin on the Bow. Thank you.
OMG! The captioning is amazing! I never laughed so much in my life!
Well done, thanks for the laugh tip.
Yeah, no one cares about helping the hearing impaired learn how to play music because that's like asking a blind person to drive, or asking any kind of disabled man to be a viable husband and father for his wife and kids. People half-ass accessibility to the disabled because we have no value whatsoever. Don't worry about the captions being corrected; laughing at the Deaf will always be fashionable and in style. :)
Pirate Boy I can’t tell if this is sarcastic or serious. Anyway, if you expect the blind person to drive, you are extremely stupid. No one says a disabled person can’t be a good husband and father, you’re just making this stuff up.
Will Roth Wow that went RIGHT OVER YOUR HEAD....
~He’s making an EXCELLENT POINT to the OP in this comment thread, about how making comments like the one that he did...as well as the person who responded. And because you CLEARLY missed that point, I will help you out ~It’s insensitive as hell! They’re treating an EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TOOL(closed captioning) as if it’s there for their entertainment, to get a good laugh at some of the funny mistakes/etc....when it’s CLEARLY there for the hearing impaired, who must find it quite Frustrating when things like those inaccuracies happen because they’re OBVIOUSLY relying on that 100% to be able to understand what’s going on in the video. Hope this helps you! As well as those insensitive A$$ kids who clearly get there rocks-off & laughs out of a tool that’s necessary to be utilized by AT LEAST 466MILLION HEARING IMPAIRED throughout the world as of 2018
"that's it, that's rising a vote for the first time"
Very helpful, I have watched several videos on rosining and you are the first to mention the metal piece and not to touch the hair. I watched a lady who suggested to hold the hair in place while rosining! I am getting my first violin tomorrow and wanted to educate myself a bit before opening the case and laying eyes on my own violin. I will definitely be watching more of your videos for helpful info, you seem very professional.
The sand paper on my shiny rosin hopefully will help, my hair just slides across the low friction surface and pick up little.
I'm a luthier, and was taught by one of the best, in the U.S. He told me to first, granulate part of the rosin, into powder. Then, work the powder into the hair, with your fingers. This is the best way to do it, I've tried just going back and forth with the rosin, as shown here, and it isn't as good. It takes only about 5 minutes, but it has to be done more frequently, the next few times. And you should only put on rosin, after your bow starts slipping again, don't over due it.
My son just bought his first violin, so this video really helped him to understand and know what he should do. Thanks very much for sharing your knowledge and wisdom!
I purchased an electric cello for my son so he didn’t have to bring the massive instrument home. It sounded awful because we didn’t know how to properly rosin the bow. After this video it sounded beautiful. Thank you so much
Andrew Mercer, thank you for this video! You are the first violin tutorial that I have seen where you do not sound condescending in fact you are so encouraging and clear I applaud you. Thank you again!
I really appreciate this. Got my first stringed new instrument - a cello. Just felt so intimidated on getting my "playing" started. Your pleasant face-to-face style was so relaxing and I felt informed. Didn't realize how fragile the little cake is...
Best of luck,
ANdrew
Which rosin should i get for a stentor student II i am a beginner
THANK YOU!! My violin is way louder and clearer now!
Sand paper on the rosin - best thing ever. I'm just starting out at 65 and I was wondering if the rosin was even working. I took an emery board and rubbed the top of the rosin until it turned white, then did the bow as advised in the video. Wow, what a sound I'm getting now, thank you!
The best guide. The important part here is that bow should be `white` when you apply rosin. Thanks.
The sandpaper did the trick :) thank you!
I’m in the same place as Leo...had no clue whatsoever how to do this. I’ve played guitar for 50 plus years, so I’m hoping it will translate at least a little? Guess I’ll find out tonight😎. So thank you Andrew for your video...it was short, to the point, and exactly what I needed!
This was the first video that mentioned sandpaper, and that helped! Had been rubbing and not getting anywhere till this. 👍
Thanks, I'm in beginning orchestra and I have been wanting to know how to rosin it so my violin plays sound more neat. :D
Thank you Andrew...just got a violin for X-mas. Cheers
Viewed three other videos and finally this one was correct.
Was just gifted my first violin...thanks for the help.
Mine had a super thick gloss and the white powder wasn't happening but then I used the sandpaper trick sooooo helpful. Thanks!!!
Thank you! I'm a beginner and I had no idea I was to rosin my bow frequently.
Just got my daughter a brand new violin & was freaking out at the lack of sound!?! This is her first year, first week in orchestra class. I played the flute.. So... Thank you.
Thank you so much. My daughter just received her first new violin and couldn't figure out where were going wrong. She followed your instructions and she was quickly up and playing. The video was informational, to the point and easy to understand. We will be looking for more on the violin.
Thank you Andrew! You're the man, the glassy surface took awhile to come off and and I wasn't pressing hard enough.
My Pleasure. Let me know if you need more help or a private lesson. Cheers, Andrew
Thank you! I started violin when I was 7 (I'm now 30; not to say I've been playing for 23 years) and none of my instructors taught me the bare bones basics like this. They showed me how to hold my bow, and practice finger placement. That was about it. So now I'm just learning things like this and how to get the best sound, and it makes a huge difference in my playing. Thanks again!
I have watched so many videos, they are very miss leading... My violin makes a sound now!!!! Thank you so much... Your the best... 😉
This helped my 9 year old who's just discovered a burning passion for music
Just bought a violin don't know how to take care of it or how to put rosin on the bow but thank you for your simple and clear instructions I was able to do that and now it works. Unfortunately i touch the hair with my fingers but now I know. Thank you so much
My daughter takes violin lessons. we normally rent her violins which means they're already used. She knows WAY MORE about violins than me. We just bought her her very own brand new violin. We had this problem and i thought the violin was broken. She said i have to keep putting rosin on it. I thought shed mess it up more. Lol Your video was awesome and right on time. You both were right and I'm a dud lol
i hope your daughter turns into a great violinist!!
I bought me a new violin recently. It came with everything you need to start the violin, a First Lesson DVD &CD, a tuner, and a lesson book. But it id not show any lesson on the DVD, on how to rosin you bow for the first time. So I thank you for this video!
My son just opened his Christmas gift and is so excited to have his own violin! We have subscribed to your video's! I can't wait to hear him play it! Thank you!
Hi Gatorftbllvr,
That is great to hear!! Let me know if I can help. You and your son should check out my site AndrewViolin. There are many tutorials there and it is a good way to contact me. The link is in the description for this video.
Thanks,
Andrew
Andrew Mercer Thank you so much! Im sure we'll be in touch! :D
The the sand paper tip and the finger oil tip are worth a like and subscribe!
Thank you, you just saved me from my son's major meltdown vis a vis his new violin. I know nothing about violins, but now I know how to rosin a new bow!
All the beginner lessons I watched never explained this! Thank you very much
I LIKE THE WAY YOU GOT YOUR VIOLINS NEATLY PLACED!
Thank you Andrew. Bought my wife a new violin, she wanted to start back up again, and we were having trouble putting rosin on the bow. Thanks again.
Just bought my daughter a violin for her birthday & you were really helpful showing what to do with the rosin. Thank you.
Thank you from a first time rosiner!
im ordering a voilin tommorow. trying to get as much info as possible. this was helpful! 👍
Thank you for this, I got my E-Cello today and wondered why I wasn't getting any sound out of my bow. Now I know why! Amazon here I come!! 🤣
Very good guidance especialy for those are never touch the violin ever before.
Just got myself a voilin today gonna teach myself true you
Thank you! Here's two things:
- Spreading the resin is an even bigger mystery after this video. I just looked at Joel Kennedy's instructions, and he specifically forbade this 15 cm at a time application method and advised to pull the bow back and forth at a steady speed from end to end. So I'm none the wiser in the middle of this mess! I believe this way, bit by bit, some spots can get twice the amount of resin. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
- I would also be interested in learning what physics works between the resin and the strings, and whether the resin dust travels from one place to another in the strings - after all, the resin is spread over the entire surface, but playing only takes place on one edge. So when playing, does the resin dust flow from one side of the string slowly to the side that produces the sound? is the whole thing due to static electricity, or how does the resin work? And how does the resin affect how the sound is produced? Don't say nobody knows. Thank you!
Thank you!!!!! I finally got my viola to make a sound
I came here to find out how the first rosin should go, but I was pleasantly surprised to see you had the exact same stand as I do in the background. I was wondering how I should get the violin to hang off the stand, but it seems there isn't a problem at all.
Just got a violin today for my birthday, snapped the E string on first tune attempt as the peg was slipping. Re strung and everything keeps going slightly out of tune as I go down the strings... At a point that I am happy and your video has now provided me the advice for the next step. Thank you
Thank You very much! My daughter's beginning to learn , and Yes I play guitar but have smallest clue about violin....I might learn to...😃👍Thank You.
thank you so much, now i can rosin my new bought violin.thank you so much
Thanks for this tutorial it was very helpful
Thanks I got my Viola today and this really helps
I’m actually a first time violinist:)
When I first saw the rosin, I had an inkling that it might need some coaxing... a bit of roughing up to get’r started.
Never knew how to PROPERLY rosin a bow before this video:)
THANK YOU!
I’m a neophyte, but I’m doing my best, and thanks to folks like you I will keep her movin:)
Thanks so much. Just bought a violin bow to start playing on my acoustic guitar on stage, and I didn’t know how to do this. It’s working now. Thanks so much! And yes, I hit the like button. 😊
I got my first violin for Christmas today. Can't wait to start learning! I'm taking it to the music store before I start playing it so I get a hands on lesson of tuning it, but I have a feeling I'll be using your lessons quite often!
+KikyoCovers I got an electric guitar this christmas and all this music inspired me to pull out my old violin. I'd forgotten almost everything except how to hold bow and violin
very helpful, as the first video to do this was 9 minutes long, never mentioned how hard to push.. or that the first time would take a few minutes
Hi Andrew. We must have been using the same translator in our videos. I did one on maintaining a fireplace door seal with captioning. The captioning would have led you to believe you were being told how to boil down seal blubber! Despite the obvious unintentional humor (Thank you for leaving it up BTW), I learned exactly what I needed to know as a complete neophyte sitting here today with bow in hand and no idea how to properly apply rosin. Great, useful info, and I hope, a shared chuckle with you.
Tq so much for this video. I hv no experience wt a violin and just bought one for my daughter today. Ur tutorial is really helpful i got the sound in within a minute of applying rosin. Scratching the rosin gently wt coin first really helps
#onehappymummy
Literally just got my first beginners bow today and yours was the first video I came across so thank you very much
thank you mr violin man
I needed this video a lot when I tried to play violin and did a challenge to try and learn the violin in 1 week. I couldn't believe it when I unboxed my violin and could not even get a sound out of itxD thanks to your video I at least get some prober tones and I could get started with the learning process. If you watch my video about the challenge, maybe you can give some feedback if I have put enough, too much, or too little rosin on there:)
thanks! My Lyra is coming today and I'm a piano player so this is foreign to me. great help!
Thank you so much! Lol I was afraid to rub hard until I saw you do it. My bow is officially rosined now.
That's great Marcus. Let me know if you need more help with your playing.
Andrew
Yes Sir will do. Thanks again!
the sandpaper idea works use 100 grit sandpaper might have to use sandpaper on rosin a few times to make the rosin white again and just listen
Thank you. First timer here and felt pretty bummed out when it wasn't making any sound after delivery.
Thank you so much I was going on rubbing the bow but there was no sound coming from my violin after ysaw your vdo it helped me a lot😊
It actually did help, VERY much. Thank you, I just bought my first violin, and I was pretty upset my bow made no sound haha! Thanks again!
this video helped me in 2022 thank you so much
thank you for your help. I just got a new violin and am rosining it for the first time.
Thanks for that. I'm an ex pro musician (Piano/Keyboards) 50 years, Thought I'd have a mess around with a fiddle. Starting from scratch. Very informative, thanks. Keep Rockin' Gus. UK.
Played guitar and drums all my life, just picked up a 🎻 after hearing Josh vetti and got inspired bye it. So much different then the instruments I'm use to.
I just wanted to say thank you for this video to get me started. BTW Beautiful instruments in the background of your video.
Thank you so much! I got my first violin not too long ago and the bow came in the mail today. I'm a beginner, so I didn't even know I needed rosin, heh... thanks again!
Omg! This helped so much! I just got a Viola yesterday for the first time and I had no idea what to do.
THANKS A LOT!!! I'm a guitarist and I got a great deal on a violin so...trying to expand a bit!! :) Had NO IDEA what I was doing when I bought it...learning slow but surely!!
Thank you I've been playing a double bass since 4th garde I'm in 7th now and I got a new bow and rosin and you've helped me out alot thank you👍
Thank you very much for taking the time to post this video. I didn't know what to do with that little block in my bow case at ALL. I look forward to your other videos :D
No Problem Sammie. Let me know if you need any help.
Andrew
thanks ive been wanting to play for years and i just finished buying one today and i put string to it and no sound i wanted to cry. so thanks so much
The time is just a lill off but everything else was very accurate! Very helpfull👍
(Took me 2 hours idk if that is normall)
Your video was very helpful. I watched it first than had my daughter watch it as well. She's almost 7 and was able to follow your instructions and rosin her bow! Thank you very much:)
Adult first learner with new bow and new violin, great simple advice, will definitely check out your channel, thanks for posting 😀
This was a huge help, thank you!
Thank you so much! I thought something went wrong with my bow. But now it's working. Thank you! ☺
Fantastic tutorial! Eddie Hodges/ Philadelphia, PA USA
Rosin my bow Andrew!!! 😍😍😍
I just stared to play thx for your help
Brilliant video. Liked subbed. Thanks a lot.
Way better than the other one I just watched from "the online Violin tutor"
This was So much more detailed, and logical.
Oh and none of that "My Violin is expensive, but if you have a cheapo one.. bla bla."
Thank you for the instruction video Andrew. You're instruction were clear and easy to follow. I am 55 years old and have always wanted to learn how to play. Thankfully I live alone in a single family home with well insulated walls. That way no one can hear me play. :-)
Thanks so much! I was #800 to like your video. Will help me get started teaching myself how to play.
Thank you for this - just got my first violin and this helped a lot. I was a little reluctant to start trying things out without watching someone else do it.
Great video! Just got my violin today. Excited to learn.
Christmas violin to go with all my other instruments!!!! Now all I have to do is learn how to play it. Thanks for getting me started....Subscribed
I was gifted my grandfather's violin. At 200 years old, It was really in bad shape, so I had the fiddle and bow restrung, a new bridge was built, totally tuned. Although the bow was restrung, it was warped so, that was fixed, as well . We agreed that I should purchase a new bow if I plan to play, as the condition of the original looks great, but is very delicate. Any suggestions of a bow for a beginner?
I am an experienced guitarist and decided to start learning violin and this video did help me so thank you for sharing. I will probably be watching more of your videos:)
Thanks for the question. This is normal. Just wipe it with a dry cloth each time you play. Rosin has a little acid in it and if you leave it on there for months it will dull the finish of your fiddle.

THanks again,
Andrew
Thank you, Andrew; you are so kind and helpful.
Helpful for a neophyte
Giving this a thumbs up since I need this knowledge for my animation project, even though this scene of rosin-rubbng will only be used for like a few seconds.
Thank you -andrew! I'm trying to learn these basics. Mary
Thank you for the video! After watching 4, yours was the most helpful
