Thank you. I always enjoy YOUR videos!!
just got my first personal viola after playing it at school, and i fully thought that my dark rosin was a container with white powder in it and kept trying to open it 😂. thanks for this instructional video, probably saved me from destroying this rosin lol
Great comment! Thank you
And congrats on the new viola

Thank you Josh’s!!! I am always happy when these videos are helpful for people!!

Really nice video -- covers all the essentials that new (and many not-so-new) players need to know.
I just turn the rosin to a different angle each time I rosin the bow, rather than turning it while I am rosining. (If it starts to become uneven, it's easy enough to be sure to run the bow over the high spots the next time.)
Thanks for this very important video ❤ Rosin is kind of religion for some players - I nearly have a drawer full of it 😉.
Here is my special tip, which I got from a professional violinist as a secret: BRUSHING THE BOW regularly.
All needed is a new(!) soft tooth brush. Brushing the bow from tip to frog direction is kind of cleaning process and also removes to much rosin. First release the tension of the bow so that you can also reach deeper between the bowhairs with the brush.
I never thought of bowhair direction. It is smoothly upwards to the tip and more grippy downbow to the frog. Because of that, downbows need a bit more energy against hair directions 😏
After the first preparations of my bow with rosin on the new bowhair I only apply rosin from frog to tip (3 strokes) to get it deaper into the hairs.
I use Pirastro Oliv with Larsen strings. It creates a warmer sound.
I'd like to try Andrea next time. May I ask what type you recommend for violin "piacere"?
I use lonesome pine.. Available on www.violinzone.com/products/lonesome-pine-rosin
This is great rosin.. I recommend original and smooth! Thank you for all your insight!!
Absolutely charming. Thank you
Great content! I wish I knew about round cakes earlier. Now I've got a large groove in a classic Andrea cake that I can't ignore. New Andrea rosins are made by an inferior company, so I'll have to use up my grooved rosin in a creative way. Thanks again for the tips!
You can probably go the opposite way and smooth out your rosin... Let me know if that works!
Rotating the rosin to keep it flat is a groovy idea!
I think it would take at least four people to rosin a bow with Ronald Houston. How much do you weight, Ron?
My bow is spiccating like crazy, especially on on the A string. and I am far away from playing Paganini's 1st. :) Am I over-rosining, over-tighting or just bowing incorrectly?
it's funny how many of the same things that Ronald does, I do myself, just from years of doing it and 'learning' what works and what gives poor results, like early on, getting a single groove down the middle of a round cake of rosin leading to learning to circling the rosin over the bow, to have the cake diminish evenly, et al. I really do so many of the same things it's uncanny. Then again, maybe it's totally predictable, idk.
I'm beginning to see the light about the merits of dark rosin.
I have a new nickname: "Someone."
Very funny!!!
