Best W.E. Hill & Sons Premium Rosin Double Bass Dark Alternatives

Based on 8 reviews

It is a great all round rosin for basses and bass bows. The all weather rosin works fine in every situations. The rosin has a thick and safety rubber cover. So it's protected from the mechanical effects. At the first time the rosin was a little bit hard. But after a while has became softer. After you use the rosin it's recommended to play open strings with a full bow. It helps to remove the plus rosin from the bow's hair. You don't need to use it very often. I think this kind of all weather rosin is not so expensive to buy. But the quality and the sound what's produce it is really good. If it's too hard for you, put under a lamplight for a bit, and it will be softer.

Compared with hard rosin (kolstein), in my opinion it seemed that the sound would be a little brighter. More suitable for orchestra. Weather conditions have a good effect on this product. In summer, it is more viscous and if you smear a lot, it is difficult to remove from the strings, in this case, hard rosin(kolstein) helps out.

Very good rosin for orquestral playing, been using it for years on and off, but always go back and buy a new cake. It is very sticky rosin so you will get a nice grip for low notes, and you will get a nice dark tone out of it. I dont considerer a very good rosin for solo playing, it is too much sticky to play close to the bridge, wich sometime makes the bow stop. Normaly after one year of playing this rosin gets dry, at least where I live , so every year I buy a new one. Should be use very little at a time, if you put too much your bow will stick to the string and stop. Another advice never leave in the car in hot weather it will melt down and turn in to goo.
