[freed456t]

so can i use violin rosin?

[tansungwah]

@freed456t Yes violin rosin is widely used...

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).

[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.

I have question, Have the same quality a mongolian black hair horse bow and white hiar horse bow?

[MarkDally]

How often should I do this?

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

[RedMewtwo]

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

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

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?
