Pirastro Schwarz (Black) Rosin for Violin & Viola

Black. A dark, hard rosin suited for steel strings. High quality rosin allows for perfect bowing without scratchy sounds, especially if only a thin layer of rosin is applied. The general rule is: violinists and violists use a harder, dryer rosin cellists use a medium strong rosin bassists a softer rosin   Another important aspect for choosing the right rosin is the core material of the string that are being used: steel strings are easier played if you use a hard, dry rosin for synthetic, gut and gut wound strings use a softer rosin Please note that orders totaling less than $30 are no longer eligible for return.
