CECILIA 'SOLO' Rosin for Violin, Rosin Specially Formulated Violin Rosin for Violin Bows with Included Rosin Spreader (Full Cake)

I’ve been using this rosin for years- a while before it was rebranded even. My stand partner borrows it, the violist in my quartet borrows it, everyone loves it. It’s not as sticky as the darker one which is why I like it and provides a nice clean sound

I wanted to upgrade my cello rosin after having bought a carbon fibre bow. The rosin I was using was about $9 and was okay but honestly I wasn't feeling like the bow was sounding as good as it should be. So I decided to finally upgrade my rosin and see if that made a difference. After reading the reviews I decided to give this one a try and let me tell you it's awesome! Well worth the price for sure. The bow has plenty of grip yet it glides across the strings. The tonal change is fantastic! It now sounds like I'm playing with a more expensive bow! I am very satisfied and will be buying it again for sure.

Kind of pricey compared to other brands, but after reading blogs from violin string companies, they consider this to be the best rosin for Violin bows. It will last forever so the price is not that big of a deal.

the rosin was broke off the base when I received it other then that it is a great rosin

It worked as described. Initially, I was sceptic, but once I applied it to my bow, the sound changed to a more "loquacious" expression. The sonority increased, and the squeaking disappeared. I was using cheap rosin because "any rosin is good." For a beginner, this is a game changer.

This rosin arrived crumbling and broken. The main cake was broken off of the backing and powder went everywhere when opened. The packaging was perfect so I do not blame the delivery or shipping at all. It looked as though it had sat somewhere for years and perhaps had been dropped several times. I was really looking forward to trying this as I have never spent this much money on a cake of rosin. Very disappointed.

The CECILIA ‘SOLO’ Rosin for Violin, specifically formulated for violin bows, comes in a convenient MINI (Half Cake) size. While it enhances the bow’s grip, I find it to be a bit inconsistent in performance across various playing styles. It might take a few applications to achieve the desired result. However, the compact size is handy for on-the-go use. Overall, a decent rosin with room for improvement.

Love the brush and how it leaves just enough resume on hair.
