Don't touch the rosin directly-- use a piece of cloth to do it and hold it in your fingers. Also avoid touching the hair with your hands! The natural fat we have in our hands and sweat will be transferred to the rosin and to the bow. Rosin is enough "sticky", imagine touching it with our fatty hands. I learned that with a very experienced violinist from Russia and then later my Luthier here in Germany taught me the same and gave me the cloth to hold the rosin. And when I use the rosin I follow his instructions. And don't touch the tip of the bow! Never. Avoid finger contact there!
Brianna S rosin is what makes the hairs stick to the strings enough to create friction and, therefore sound. Without the rosin, you will get odd or ghostly sounds or almost no sound at all. For a beginner rosin type isn’t a big deal as long as it’s for cello, but generally medium to dark rosin is preferable for cello.
You are the master of your cello, so if you need more rosin because your bow hair is old or low quality, and/or the cello needs to be slapped around to sing out, then have at it, Kittylish 18

I cringed when you touched the bow hair! lol
LOL just for the video, and my hands were clean and dry :-)
I was upset because I expect my bow to always have rosin, but I forgot to apply rosin for some time. :-p
Thanks because i start orchestra soon and i chose cello and i dont now what im doing
Each brand of Rosin, the age, the humidity, the temperature... gives different results. Lightly test different ones.
Good insight
I am looking at your t-shirt than the rosin. 😆
i have them
make sure you rosin from the tip allllll the way down to the base of the shaft of the bow
In this video Which rosin are you using? Any recomendations. Thanks
any Cello rosin - I like Larsen Cello rosin these days
What brand of rosin is best? I’m 44 and got my first cello yesterday!
I use hidersine it works
It’s good
May I ask what the importance of using cello rosin is? I'm new at cello and I'm not sure what kind of rosin I have as it is not labeled. 😬

Is putting rosin on your bow daily to much? I do practice a lot more than the usual person does well I think I do. lol

Were you about to curse/cuss at 0:47?
I did oops! Censored since my channel needs to be free of vulgarities
I can’t find my rosin!
look
that bow touching gave me cancer
I dont think anyone should pull their bow hairs like that.... I cringed
Just a tiny tug, no harm no foul. Hair is replaced and elastic.
@@CelloCoach the oil from your skin is very bad for the bow hair. a lonely tuba so did i lol
