D'Addario Kaplan Premium Light Rosin with Case for Violin, Viola, and Cello

I felt this rosin was quite pricey when I bought it. However, after using it I now understand why its price is a bit on the high side. My playing has improved immensely since using this rosin, grips the strings really well and has all but eliminated the bow sliding over the strings. It’s not overly gripping the strings so no more crunching sounds and no more screeching over the strings as it has the ideal level of grip. An added benefit is that my violin isn’t covered in rosin dust as very little dust is created. All and all I love this rosin and now understand why there’s a difference between cheap rosin and more expensive rosin. That’s not to say there aren’t any good cheap rosins out there. If you were lucky enough to find one, that’s great, unfortunately after buying many cheap rosins I was unable to find one that came anywhere near matching this rosin.

Really good and makes cello playing so much better! Quite expensive but definitely worth it!Pros:Sounds SO Good on the celloGood for the bowRich soundsNice sleek coverCons: Expensive

Although this is advertised primarily for violin, viola and cello, I wanted to see how it faired for double bass and I am happy so far. It's of course personal taste with Rosin but it arrived in superb condition and sound and feel are perfect for me as an all-rounder.I am disappointed with the box that supposedly makes this rosin so special. Upon discovering this product I was excited as the whole idea of a handy pop open box I could use with one hand was perfect for the kind of work I do (largely in the pit) but the box actually doesn't open properly and I end up having to use both hands anyway. the rotating dial is a cool gimmick but not necessary and mine actually doesn't work very well as it gets stuck.Had the box been what I expected this would be 5 stars and I couldn't bring it down any more because the actual rosin is lovely. I would recommend your electric and double bass all-rounder players give this a try.

Exactly what you want amongst your accessories. Simple design and very useful to store away with its added box. Works exceptionally well.

The media could not be loaded. This premium rosin comes in a really well-designed case made of plastic that feels soft to the touch. The case is designed so much so that you can use it one-handed and also has a handy feature where you can rotate the rosin to avoid a groove forming. I use this rosin on my cello bow and it creates a good amount of grip, I sometimes use it on my violin bow to get a more gritty sound. The only improvement I can think of is the ability to replace the rosin which isn't yet available. Seems a shame to throw away such a nice case. Great product that I would recommend to any string player (aspiring or pro)

It's rosin and all rosin is the same, right?Well no.You get what you play for and cheap rosin is very cheap, it dusts and can dry out and crack.With this you get a nice rosin that catches the strings beautifully, it keeps together and hasn't dried at all in all this heat (been abroad where it's been 34 to 39 deg C).There's also the case, it gimmick is you can open it one handed and there's a turning knob so you can spin your rosin so you don't end up with a rut....but as the rosin sits proud and the lid hinges back to expose it all, this spin wheel isn't needed at all.The only thing I'd want to change is you can't close it one handed. I've got a couple and both don't close unless you push both sides of the clips at the same time. This would be more useful than opening it with a squeeze.But other than that one personal niggle, this is a perfect little pot of golden joy.

I've bought this previously and will keep doing so. I believe it's advertised for cello but it's just as good for violin. The appearance of the dark rosin is superb, although not why you should buy it, but fortunately, it performs excellently too. Have no problems with applying it from the container. A big benefit of this particular rosin is the low dust, it's more pleasant to use as a result, less cleaning of the violin. The fact it comes in a closable container is a real bonus for storage and carriage. Obviously, there is a price upscale but will never go back to a cheap rosin.

This is a long-lasting, easy to use product which is of excellent quality. It is, in fact, by far my favourite rosin. I play Scottish traditional fiddle and this provides the reliable bite which I need to play in that style, the packaging stops it from fracturing and extends its useful life to a point where even in terms of raw cost, it's better value than cheaper rosin. This is what I'm going to buy for as long as its available.
