Use small heavy strokes to apply rosin. Bass rosin on a cello bow yields some interesting results!

  • Hi John,

    I would recommend care in holding the bow against the knee while applying the rosin. I ended up snapping the bow near the tip. I think downward pressure from the bow against rosin held in the right hand is a safer approach.

  • Might I recomment putting your thumb on that little metal piece on the end of the frog. If you accidentally bump that piece of metal, you will chip up your rosin.

    I don't play cello (yet), I sort of play violin - it's a trick of my dad's. The rosin I use for my violin bow is all chipped up because the former owner didn't do that.

  • nice tee shirt...do a gun review next

  • Very useful. I've been rosining my bow by pretty much just bowing the rosin instead of the cello; needless to say it slipped alllll the time, haha.

    This seems like a much more efficient method. Thanks!
