Musical Strings Co. 911 Original Super Sensitive Rosin - Light

I am a beginner violinist and I recently bought my first violin. The rosin that was included with my violin purchase is of very poor quality. Thankfully, I had decided to order this rosin from amazon also as a precaution. It works much better than what was shipped with my violin and not much has to be applied in order for the bow to grasp the strings. It's also very inexpensive. You really can't beat the price. I'm sure it's probably worthwhile to purchase an even higher grade rosin if you're an advanced violinist, but for anyone at the beginner or intermediate stage, this will work very well.

I was quite impressed how fast my order came. I was expecting it to take longer, but was pleasantly surprised when the package arrived. As is described, the rosin is super sensitive and easy to apply. I love how the wooden grip encases three sides of the rosin. It feels stable, and the design is perfect for the bow. I don't feel like I'm going to drop this rosin, unlike the round ones.This rosin will last me a very long time. I couldn't have asked for a better product!

It shipped really fast especially living in Hawaii which usually takes longer, the product is great way better than the original rosin unlike my original one which I had to put a lot of rosin on this one just needs at least 3 swipes to get a good coverage, its great for beginners like me

I started playing Viola last summer & bought dark rosin from a local music store. I noticed it got sticky/flaky quickly & I'd have to use it more often & was NOT happy. I read some reviews & decided to try a light rosin & I am VERY pleased with this brand! I'd only have to use it ONCE while practicing for about 3-4 hrs! Plus, its's not sticky & doesn't flake off quick. BIG plus for me! The dark rosin also wore my new bow out & made my strings nasty so needless to say I threw it out & will stick with this brand & buy it again when I run out, which I assume wont be for quite a while <3

Happy with this purchase

This is a decent rosin, that's legitimately the best thing I can say about it. When I received my rosin it was hard, chipped, cracked, and broken. In the picture you can see I have used it, but I only used it for about two days until I got some SnowPine rosin in which arrived in one piece. (I bought that with my shoulder rest from a different distributer.)All in all it is a decent rosin and it is usable, but I most definitely will not be getting this brand of rosin again.Personally, I don't like the way it makes my violin sound. (I'm picky and this makes an awkward squeak which different rosins don't make.)

Love it! Came in unbroken, and works great.

I bought a Mendini MV400 violin kit which included the Cecilio rosin in a round plastic container. This stuff was much closer to the gemstone known as amber and has similar hardness. You can also buy Cecilio and Mendini violins through Amazon. I got mine from [...] The price was cheaper than Amazon, but this all changed and now Amazon is cheaper. But this review is about the rosin. Others have pointed out that Cecilio rosin takes about 15 minutes of work to rosin a bow. Save yourself a lot of grief and get the Super-Sensitive rosin and get your bow done with about 30 strokes, about a minute. You will see the vitreous luster haze quickly, but with Cecilio rosin you have to scratch the surface with a knife to get started. I prefer the type Number 911, which is a light colored rosin. Then give your Cecilio rosin to a gemologist. If you buy a Cecilio or Mendini violin, get the Super-Sensitive rosin at the same time. The other reviewers also seem to have bought el cheapo student violins as did I.

Excellent Quality

OK
