![How to Rosin your Bow 🎻 [Get the BEST sound]](/img/n.gif)
Very important notice (forgot to mention): Never touch your the bow hair with your fingers. The grease/oil on your fingers will make that part of the bowhair not be able to become as sticky when rosin is applied to it, which will make the bow not create a sound at that part of the bow. Touching the bowhair will also make that part of the hair attract dirt much more quickly, this is a common reason for the fact that the part around the frog often becomes dark.
thank you for these pieces of advice! they are so detailed even the small details were covered.
Touching the bow hair was the No 1 biggest mistake I made as a beginner. I figured, completely wrongly, that as a beginner it wouldn't matter. It DOES matter. I have Mediterranean olive skin, and I have olive oil with my food, and touching the bow even slightly ruins how well it plays. I also have to take care not to pluck the strings anywhere that I will bow because oils can get to the bow via the strings. Once I stopped ever getting oil on the bow, my sound quality immediately became reliable, which is wonderful.
I'm 64, and my first and new Yamaha SV-200 electric violin cametoday. It is blue! I rosined my bow, and it was fun. I actually did pretty good, and played your twinkle twinkle, little star song from one of you othe videos. I checked it against my piano, so I was happy it came tuned, but i love tuning my guitars. My piano has perfect pitch. Love your videos.
I was looking around and @1:25 is what changed everything. I was not wanting to over rosin my bow. So I just thought I had to press down harder on my bow because it was sliding. Just rosined my bow and WOW. THANK YOU, that made everything so much clearer. Yes...I'm a recently learning but...you help was greatly appreciated.
That is wonderful. I am so happy you figured that out!
I got my new violin yesterday. Way better instrument then I figured it was going to be. Love it. Now my journey begins.
Wonderful! Good luck on your new journey!
Don't get discouraged. Practice every day, even if only for 10 minutes.
Thanks for this video i really needed to know all this, i got a nice Rosin, and it is really good, and does the job much better than the one that came with my violin, I did not know how to properly Rosin my bow so i am so glad you showed us, i was doing it a little quick but now i know how i can correct this. Thank You.

We have been struggling to get my sons bow set up and wasn't until we found ur video did it work.. we didn't have sand paper so we used a knife to scar up the resin
Wonderful. I am so happy it helped!
I like ypur videos,and your accent!!!!
😘😘🥰
Thank you! 😃
Do you have to clean the bow hair when changing rosin types such as going from dark to light? Or do you just start using the new rosin?
Just start using the new rosin!
Hi teacher Julia, thank you for this tutorial, so wonderful. And should I use the rosin with a tight bow or loose bow?
A tight bow. You always play with a tight bow, and loosen the bow hair when you are done.
@@Violinspiration thank you teacher Julia for this advice. God bless.
Hello. Just started learning to play the violin and your content is fantastic in helping me learn on my journey. I do have a couple of questions: One part of my bow sounds scratchy while the rest sounds smooth. I suspect that I have too much rosin in that section. And my strings also have quite a bit of rosin on them as well. How would I get the rosin off of my bow and my strings? Do I just keep playing or do I have to use a cleaner of some sort?
You can simply wipe it off with a cloth. Here is an article I wrote all about violin bow rosin that you might find useful. violinspiration.com/how-to-rosin-a-bow-useful-tips-about-violin-rosin/
@@Violinspiration I tried with a microfiber cloth for like 10 minutes and it didn't work. I finally just grabbed a tiny amount of varnish cleaner and rubbed the strings with that. Worked like a charm. Your article had a lot of extremely important information and I appreciate it.
Good explanations, thanks! One question: if you have too much rosin on your bow, can you wipe it off with a clean, dry cloth? I liked when you said that after 7-8 hours of playing add the rosin. Good tip! BTW, I'm a beginner and my E string sounds terrible, scratchy or something. Maybe the bow is too tight/loose, I press too hard/weak, too much rosin etc. Try to learn:)
If it has a scratchy sound, you could be pressing the bow down too hard or light. Try to keep a steady grip. Another reason, you are playing to close to the bridge or the board. Try to keep you bow in the middle of the two parts. Hopes that helps! Good luck! Don’t give it up. 😀
@@Breanna.L Thanks! I think I press the bow too much or too less. And the gripping is difficult for me. The corona virus has prevented me to have a violin teacher. That's the problem.
Sinuhe I’m so sorry about that! Don’t give up. She has a video on the bow grip I believe. Something that works for me is when I get frustrated with a piece and I start to get tense I will shake my hands out and “blow” bubbles through my nose to keep breathing evenly and help with the pressure. Or I’ll just play scales a couple of times and my grip will improve greatly over the “break”. I’m definitely no expert 😜 Don’t give up! You got this!
Thanks for the video =) Also - Icelandic?
You are most welcome 😊🎻 🇳🇱✨
@@Violinspiration Oh, cool! Well my wildly inaccurate guess tells you everything you need to know about my intonation :D
Did you buy your rosin online? If so could you post a link? :)
I am currently creating a page with links to all products I recommend on Violinspiration.com ... I will include rosins too :)
Great tutorial as always ❤
A question for you.
I did apply the rosin as explained, after observing for few days it turns out that few initial strokes are warm and smooth. But after 10-15 minutes of play the sound becomes scratchy and I can feel it while playing. I watched some other tutor videos and they too say to rosin once in 5-6 hours of playing, as a general rule.
So what's going on here, sound becoming scratchy after 10-15 min? (I tried applying higher quantity as well. Default Hidersine rosin which came with the 🎻 as well as Daddario Light).
There can be a few reasons for it. Maybe there is already too much of rosin build-up on your strings? Please observe it and remove the rosin from strings with a dry cloth. Or, try to adjust the bow pressure and speed while you play - maybe you tend to press the bow a bit more after 10-15 min of playing?
I hope it helps :)
@@Violinspiration Hey, really appreciate you taking time out to respond ❤️
As I kept reading more about rosin it occurred to me that it might be Light vs Dark rosin, and it was!
Both different brands Light rosins (Hidersine & Daddario) gave the problem described in the original messag (more dust off with D'addario).
So I tried Hidersine Dark 6V and it worked perfectly. The bow's still not scratchy after 5.5 hours of play, and the E string is not screechy as earlier. This information could be useful to others now!
Bow pressure was okay, not more.
Thanks!
What tipe of stings do you use ?
I use dominant strings on my violin
Dear
i tried to apply rosin on the bow but its too dry should i scratch the surface of the rosin.
Yes, if it didn't work I recommend scratching the surface with a knife :)
Oh I see! No wonder
What Rosin do you use?
Hi Darryl 😊 here are the Rosins that I like to use: violinspiration.com/product-category/rosin/
Rosin in general is hard or soft ?
It feels hard - like a dense consistency - normally :)
Thank's that was helpful. You are gorgeous by the way.
Glad it was helpful to you Gary, and I appreciate the kind words. 😊🎻✨
Are my hairs on bow supposed to touch the bow where there’s a slight bend? Yours don’t touch and I was wondering what was wrong with mine. It’s a new one
You have to tighten the hair using the screw on the end. The hair should not touch the bow when you play, but instead you should be able to run a regular size pencil through the space between the stick and the hair, and have it just slightly graze both at the most narrow part. But be able to slide through freely. Does that make sense?😀
@@Violinspiration Yes it does. Thanks a ton!
I have a ‘JADE’ rosin and it is very hard...is it still good?
Yes, I think it is still good. Some bow rosin is made to be hard. The question is, Do you like how it feels when you play and how it sounds?🤔
@@Violinspiration thanks for your reply.
Truly a beginner here.
Hate the way my D string sounds.
Surely it’s operator error, lol! 😉
What type of strings do you use ?
Dominant but recently switched to Obligato and I am loving it so far...
Don’t touch the rosin with your fingers 😁 Same for the bow hair 😉💐
I got a new one but I don't know how to make it work I tried to do it my rosin is new
Did you try roughing up the surface of the rosin? This usually helps to start a new cake of rosin.
Mam I bought a new violin yesterday, (beginner violin ) I already applied more than 4 times but still it doesn't make sound it's a very new bow pls help me to find a solution
You may simply need more rosin. New bows always need rosin. The rosin allows friction to grip the string as you bow this will cause the string to vibrate and thus create sound.
How can I rosin my new bow in a easier way?
This article can help with that! violinspiration.com/how-to-rosin-a-bow-useful-tips-about-violin-rosin/
SVP ! Faites la même chose mais en français. Merci !
Hi I would love to, except I do not speak French. I hope you can still enjoy my tutorials in English.😀
