Thanks Scott for a great Tutorial for amateurs... I have a Kelischek Minnesinger and never could do much with it because we mainly use ours for medieval droning, etc. I hope to practice some after a friend puts on the new strings and I learned a lot from this about using solid resin and not powdered kind, pressure, etc. and hope this will help us enjoy the little instrument we have. Your explanation was very precise and easy to understand!
this was very very helpful...I never had an idea how it has to sound if it is too much or too little rosin. Thank you a lot for the eplanations. I was having problems with too much rosin for quite a long time. ( I was doing it from feeling and probably always made it wrong)
Great information there. Good job. I'd suggest that the fine abrasive must always be wrapped round a flat block to avoid damaging the wheel edge. Experienced players may get away with it but then again, experienced players don't put too much on in the first place :-)
I read, can't remember where, that a cork can be held lightly against the turning wheel to remove excess rosin, it worked ! Anyone else use this method?
Ash Green I use different rosin for different occasions or instruments but generally I use a light rosin. Hill, Kaplan, D'Addario, etc. The most important thing is to not buy the cheapest type in the wood block, get the cake rosin it is easier to control and allows you apply around the whole edge.

How much does it cost to buy one?
It can be very expensive to buy a hurdy gurdy, depending where you buy it from
What kind of rosin do you use?
