How to Rosin your Erhu Bow

[MarkDally]

How often should I do this?

[freed456t]

so can i use violin rosin?

[tansungwah]

@freed456t Yes violin rosin is widely used...

[eaglesgogirl]

happy that i only need to rosin one side for cello and not 2 that would take a long time :)

[mOchiHaru1]

i am so glad there are lessons for the erhu on here, noone in my city knows how to play it let alone even heard of it.

So tansungwah, how much is the highest quality erhu at the reasonable price?

[ghkj2]

i find that cello rosin is beater for my erhu

[RedMewtwo]

@ghkj2 You'll destroy your erhu if you do that for long term, plus your strings will be more fragile.

[ghkj2]

@RedMewtwo ive been using it on the same bow for about 4 years and its still good and works much better than normal rosin

Umm... What is rosin?

[aaroncurley]

rosin is a dried tree extract. rub this on bow(for bowed instruments) to work. it is also needed to apply in violin bow.

To add to aaroncurley's explanation, a bowed instrument's string generates sound by sticking and slipping against the bow. Without rosin, nothing sticks, and it makes zero sound (like drawing your finger along a guitar string).
