My luthier taught me to rotate the resin cake as you apply it to the bow to avoid creating a groove in the resin, which would cause damage to the hairs on the sides of the bow.
As a beginner violinist, I truly appreciate your videos. I was interested in playing the violin about 2 years ago but quit because I couldn’t find any videos that explained what I needed to do. Now I’m back in and luckily I found these videos so now I know what I’m doing.
I love videos like this, I just got my violin back after 14 years and gave it some well needed TLC, I had to clean the hairs on my bow to get all the gunk off of it. I forgot how loud it was when it got some quality rosin on fresh strings 😅 I'm sure my neighbors love me right now
Thank you for this video!! My son has been playing for about 1.5 years and wasn't taught how to properly rosin his bow. This is super helpful. Please make more of these types of tutorials.
Hey Ray, thanks for your videos, I recently picked up my violin that I had for almost 50 years, decided to remember how to play now that I'm 56 (was 8yo for about 2 years played). lol my fingers are no longer moving as fast... but your videos are inspirational, got me to really want to continue playing. Just wanted to say Thank YOU!
I'm a relative newbie as well... inspired by TwoSet Violin. Fingers get faster... Well I can manage 8 notes a bar now (4/4 time). Good luck and enjoy your musical journey...
@@Erincutioner There's plenty of music out there that isn't 16 notes a second and a lot of beautiful pieces - Spiegel im Spiegel (although it's cello) springs to mind - that are exquisite and super slow. Another piece is Philip Glass' 'Metamorphois I' played by Anne Akiko Meyers. Speed is irrelevant. Musicality is everything. Ever heard Hahn playing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star? Check that one out on YT.
@@wakingtheworld haha, I was just making a twoset joke, it wasnt that serious.. and no i havent watched hilary hahn playing twinkle twinkle little star. I will definitely check that out, I heard its good
@@Erincutioner Ah right. Bit slow on the uptake today! Twinkle Twinkle is a very short vid and although she adds a bit more complexity to it, it's basically a simple piece. Enjoy! It might even lull you to sleep....
Thanks for the video Ray. I do it differently… You’re bowing your rosin! I think you should rosin your bow. It means that your bow should be kept still on your left hand, with the hair up and holding the rosin with your right hand you start moving it over the bow hair in the fashion you clearly explained. In that way we have much more control over the rosin direction and pressure over the bow hair . It works great! Try it.
Thanks for the tips Ray. I divide my bow in four sections and apply rosin one section at a time across the bow. Didn’t know about the toothbrush technique. Now I have to try that.
Just got a new bow in the mail today that is actually from the store of one of the rosins used in the rosin example image. It's the first bow that I've bought. My current bow came with my rental. Sure could have used the tips in the video to rosin up new bow, today. Didn't see the video until after I rosined my bow. Welp, will definitely use the tips in the future. Thanks!
Thanks Ray! Glad you recommended the toothbrush method, which I have been doing for years. My colleagues question my sanity. I learned a bit as well. Great presentation.
A point worth making is to avoid moving the bow too fast or with too much pressure so as to avoid heating the hair and rosin. Let the hair cut the rosin but do it slowly. You can hear it cut too. Be patient with new hair. It may not seem like it's taking rosin but it is and build it up gradually and test the bow even when you think there isn't enough rosin on the hair.
I apprenticed with a violinmaker. We would crush the rosin and put it into a salt shaker. Shake it onto the hair then rub it with the shaker. Speeds up the process x 10 for rosining a whole box of new bows. Also, if you shatter your rosin accidentally you can heat it and melt it back together
I appreciate you're a revered professional & I do love your playing 😊, but I repair violin family of instruments & the way I prefer to rosin a bow (especially from new) is to lay the bow across the lap (not great when dressed in black) with the hair up, holding it with the left hand. I then hold the round cake (as you do), but I constantly rotate it as I'm rubbing it on the hair to avoid wearing a groove through the middle of it, in small strokes (as you described). That way I can really get the rosin on where I want it more, like the middle areas that tend to get worn off more. I then bounce the back of the stick on my hand to shake off loose excessive rosin & then wipe off any rosin on the stick (an area I usually have to clean back during a rehair).
Thanks for sharing 😊 never heard that with the tooth brush before. How often you need to rosin your bow will also depend on how much you play I. My kid plays a lot less and doesn't need to rosin her bow that often. Also, my local luthier so messed up my bow (right after cleaning it) putting on some random rosin so I could test the new strings properly (worst luthier ever, made my sound post fall without being able to place it correctly again... my teacher had to fix that)...
Thank you. My 6yr old begins her violin lessons today after receiving hers for a Christmas gift. We were going to cancel because we couldn't get any sound. Thank you for this video.
I find it so fascinating that in some videos Ray's accent skews more American and then in others his Aussie accent is much thicker! Just a fun observation knowing he's spent time in both places. Love the videos, Ray, and thanks for sharing these great tips! Retired cellist here but forever a classical music nerd.
I'm waiting for the actual video, as a violin beginner I hope to learn something to improve my playing and maybe someday I'll be able to join an orchestra
Hi Ray! Awesome and very helpful video ........ I love your channel and your playing. its awesome. I would very much appreciate if you could do a video on how to properly clean a bow . i think that would be really helpful for my self and all of our fellow musicians..... Thank you!
Thank you! This is very helpful for a beginner - I can make a sound now! I just video called my mom and I couldn't play anything lol Also, I feel like I levelled up just by using a toothbrush :D
It’s interesting you use the toothbrush technique because when I was 11 my orchestra teacher had us do this during our lessons. Although since then I hadn’t continued doing it but I think I will start using one again when I apply rosin.
Is this the same rosin that is used in soldering? Rosin is used in electronic repairs, it helps the solder wire flow better, and you’ll get a finer solder joint, etc, etc. Or is this a special, perhaps more delicate rosin made specifically for violins? Please let me know. Thank you kindly
Ok.. I don’t play violin… but I do use rosin. I remember scratching up my rosin w/ a paper clip to get the rosin dust out😅. I realized I was doing it wrong. Like, there were big lines across the rosin and many cracks.I broke my forbidden candy lol 😂 ( I got a new one with a new bow…. Which I might’ve dropped (both of them…)😅). Also, at 4:10, I never thought I’d hear Ray make that sound on the violin 😂
When I was young my parents had my bow re-haired at the local band shop. They helped us out by applying powered rosin to the new bow hair. I’ve since wondered if that is a best practice.
You mentioned 2 minutes to rosin can you share with us how many times up and down required for fresh rehaired bow. Because each person 2 minutes might be different And I seen other say for fresh rehair you go up down up to 30 times (15 up 15 down) is that correct? Another violinist RUclipsr say you also need rosin on both side of the hair is that correct? Look forward to your answer thank you
This is an awesome video! I have seen some violinists quickly swipe their bow in the air like doing the mark of El Zorro 🎩 🦊 , I guess to get rid of excess rosin. Thoughts?
Is it better to apply rosin before, during, or after practice? Or does it not matter? I’ve heard from a friend that rosining after lets it set, but I don’t know if that’s true or not.
Thank you so much for this tip. I am having issues when I play in rehearsal with my strings sounded brittle and scratchy towards the end, it makes my violin sound terrible and me also as a player. My violin and strings are all very good quality (violin around £18k, strings are pirastro gold ) I mainly play baroque. I've put a humidifier pouch in the case and have a hygrometer but nothing seems to help. Do you have any tips??? Really struggling here. Maybe the church air becomes dry as its always cold in there... I dont know 😕
I get a lot of airy, slippy and white noise from my bow. Its properly rosined, not too much nor too little... and my hairs dont feel like theyre gripping the strings, its like bowing with flour on the bow. So powdery and dry feeling. Does this mean I should switch to dark rosin? So its be stickier and grip better? And if so, can I just wipe my existing bow hair down with a clean cloth to remove 'most' of the old light rosin before applying the new black? Please advise, I have had rosin problems for 2 years 😂 The struggles of being self-taught.
what i like to do after applying rosin is to run a microfibre cloth between the wood and the hair of the bow to wipe the rosin off the wood - i know, i know, i'm just ocd.
I do have a question. I have been playing violin for about 6 years, and my mom( who has been playing since fifth grade) always taught me to bang on the rosin (not super hard) to get the powder out, and i noticed that it didnt look like you did that with yours. Is that healthy for the bow and rosin or can it damage them both over time, and should i stop doing that to my rosin?
So, what do you do when the rosin builds up on the strings? Do you wipe them down just with a cloth, or maybe some water? Or are the strings supposed to have a bit of rosin on them as well? I just find it messes with my bowing because it's unevenly distributed, so I cannot adjust.
Newbie question: When using a brand new cake of rosin, does it need to be scored or scraped with a razor blade or something first? It doesn't seem to transfer well to the bow hair when it's smooth like that... thanks!
I know you're a professional and I"m an amateur, but I am curious if the "semiquaver" technique might ultimately be counterproductive?

Guys PLEASE don't forget to clean your bow and violin after playing!!!
What part of the bow do you clean? The hair or wood?
@@juliejules7780just the wood. And be careful not to touch the hair. The oils in your skin will prevent the resin from sticking to the hair.
A point worth making is to avoid moving the bow too fast or with too much pressure so as to avoid heating the hair and rosin. Let the hair cut the rosin but do it slowly. You can hear it cut too. Be patient with new hair. It may not seem like it's taking rosin but it is and build it up gradually and test the bow even when you think there isn't enough rosin on the hair.
This is very helpful! I didn't know about covering up the ferrul but this makes a lot of sense. Will definitely use these tips.
