Review: Perfect case. - Seems pretty good. The case is really good quality ,and the Rosen. I’m still figuring it out cause I’m brand new. Review: Bought for my 12 year old to use for her Cello - When asked to rate this product, I turned to my daughter who is 12 and who plays the cello. She is who I bought this for. I asked her to rate this product based on her experience with it. This is her rating and her reasoning: The case was neat. Semi easy to use. The price was decent for the product as well. The only thing I didn't particularly like about this case the rosin is in is the fact that when I go to put the rosin on my bow, I normally run my bow across the rosin bar (the bar I had) and it would slide smoothly across. This one is round and when the case is open and you slide the bow across the rosin, the bow often times will slip off the round rosin and the strings on the bow will get stuck to the prongs inside the casing. Other than that, it's a good product. ## Features - AVOID GROOVES: A dial at the bottom of the case allows the rosin to be turned, to avoid creating a groove, if desired. - LESS DUST: Kaplan Premium Rosin is formulated using the original Kaplan recipe, which produces less dust, helping to keep the instrument cleaner. - CASE INCLUDED: Kaplan Premium Rosin is packed in an attractive case, designed for easy one-handed use - KAPLAN FORMULA: Formulated using the original Kaplan recipe handed down from Ladislav Kaplan. Available in light and dark formulas. - MADE IN THE USA: Leveraging centuries of string-making experience and advanced computer-controlled winding technology, D’Addario Orchestral products are designed and manufactured in the USA to the most stringent quality controls in the industry. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0038XUDW6 | | Best Sellers Rank | #600 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #3 in Violin Rosin | | Body Material | Wood | | Brand Name | D'Addario | | Color | Dark | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (6,856) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00019954951801 | | Included Components | Case | | Item Dimensions | 3.4 x 5.4 x 8.8 inches | | Item Type Name | Violin Rosin | | Item Weight | 2.4 ounces | | Manufacturer | D'Addario &Co.

Im new at playing the volin.** A: Hi, I have a degree is the viola and play professionally in two symphonies. A lot of it which rosin you get will depend on your personal preference, which you’ll develop over time. Do you prefer a rosin with more grip? Dark versus light? Etc. While price does certainly have a relationship to quality, I’ve found it is not necessary to spend $20 on a cake of rosin if you find one that you like and works well with your instrument. That all said, generally dark amber rosin works well for most beginners. You would be fine with this rosin. **Q: Whats the difference between dark rosin and light rosin?** A: Dark rosin is stickier and softer. Light rosin is harder and less sticky. They also make a difference in how the instrument will sound. **Q: Is it better dark or light rosin?** A: There is no better as it is up to personal preference. Typically, violins use light rosin while something deeper like cellos use dark rosin. Dark rosin is stickier than light rosin so it gives a meatier tone while requiring more strength to use. Sometimes a lighter tone is desired—in that case use light rosin. **Q: I live in east Tennessee, so which type of rosen should i use dark or light?** A: This has more to do with the type of instrument you are playing. Most people prefer the lighter rosin with violin, darker with cello. Viola tends to go either way in my experience. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect case. *by 5***D on March 6, 2026* Seems pretty good. The case is really good quality ,and the Rosen.
