How do i know which rosin to get? Im new at playing the volin.

Hi, I have a degree is the viola and play professionally in two symphonies. A lot of it which rosin you get will depend on your personal preference, which you’ll develop over time. Do you prefer a rosin with more grip? Dark versus light? Etc. While price does certainly have a relationship to quality, I’ve found it is not necessary to spend $20 on a cake of rosin if you find one that you like and works well with your instrument. That all said, generally dark amber rosin works well for most beginners. You would be fine with this rosin.

Whats the difference between dark rosin and light rosin?

Dark rosin is stickier and softer. Light rosin is harder and less sticky. They also make a difference in how the instrument will sound.

Is it better dark or light rosin?

There is no better as it is up to personal preference. Typically, violins use light rosin while something deeper like cellos use dark rosin. Dark rosin is stickier than light rosin so it gives a meatier tone while requiring more strength to use. Sometimes a lighter tone is desired—in that case use light rosin.

I live in east Tennessee, so which type of rosen should i use dark or light?

This has more to do with the type of instrument you are playing. Most people prefer the lighter rosin with violin, darker with cello. Viola tends to go either way in my experience.

Schönes kolofonium

Das D'Addario Kaplan Premium-Kolofonium hat mich durch seine herausragende Qualität und Leistung vollständig überzeugt. Die Textur des Kolophoniums ist perfekt ausbalanciert, wodurch es mühelos auf den Bogen aufgetragen werden kann. Diese gleichmäßige Verteilung ermöglicht eine klare Artikulation und präzise Kontrolle über den Ton. Die Klangverbesserung, die das Kaplan Premium-Kolofonium bietet, ist beeindruckend. Es verleiht den Streichinstrumenten einen warmen, vollen Ton und unterstützt die Ausdruckskraft des Spielers. Die harmonische Balance, die dieses Kolophonium erzeugt, trägt dazu bei, dass der Ton kraftvoll und dennoch nuanciert ist. Die Verpackung des Kolophoniums ist ebenfalls durchdacht. Die kompakte Dose lässt sich leicht öffnen und schließen, was die Handhabung angenehm macht. Die Haltbarkeit des Kolophoniums ist bemerkenswert, und selbst bei regelmäßigem Gebrauch bleibt die Konsistenz erhalten. Die geringe Staubentwicklung ist ein weiterer Pluspunkt dieses Kolophoniums. Dies trägt nicht nur zur Langlebigkeit bei, sondern minimiert auch potenzielle Probleme mit Staubablagerungen auf dem Instrument und den Saiten. Alles in allem ist das D'Addario Kaplan Premium-Kolofonium eine erstklassige Wahl für Musiker, die Wert auf Qualität und Performance legen. Es steigert nicht nur die klanglichen Eigenschaften des Instruments, sondern macht auch das Streichspiel zu einem angenehmen Erlebnis. Ich kann dieses Kolophonium uneingeschränkt empfehlen.
