Rosin is made of tree resin, which is like sap. Resin is a sticky liquid which is usually derived from pine trees. To make rosin, the raw resin is heated until it becomes solid. The end product, known as rosin, looks glassy in texture but is actually brittle and can break somewhat easily.
Rosin is simply tree resin in solid form. We heat resin under high heat to cause it to harden into rosin.
Applying rosin to your bow hairs adds enough stickiness to enable them to grip your strings. Your strings cannot vibrate successfully if the bow hair does not grip the strings properly.
We suggest 2-3 swipes before every playing session.
