Jade Rosin

I haven’t replaced my rosin for years and I was wowed by the jade rosin! Great tone!

great rosin, very smooth

The Jade rosin provides an amazingly smooth tone -- when I first tried it, it was like I was a notch better player, as the improvement over my previous rosin (Hill) was really marked. I went back to Hill for a while (when I lost track of where I'd put the Jade) and soon I wasn't sounding so great. But as soon as I reapplied Jade, wow. Recently, I was playing duets with a violinist friend who'd just had her bow rehaired and was really having a problem getting a good sound from her fiddle, regardless of how much of her rosin she applied. I pulled out the Jade, and she was impressed at the improvement. One downside that I notice is that Jade 'wears off' fairly quickly, and the luscious tone you expect doesn't come out unless you've got a good quantity of Jade on the bow. Anyway, I recommend it 100%.

The rosin grips the string firmly, but not too aggressively. I even use this for my students' bows and it seems to improve the sound of their "student" instruments.

Awesome rosin. Good grip but also so smooth. Highly recommend!
