Questions & Answers
Despite the low grade, it is still pretty good. They have a softer consistency, and they are less dusty than the light rosins. In addition to enhancing a smooth, mellow sound without scratchiness, it makes the bow glide easily over the strings. You've made my day!
The viola player would probably say no. But as a cellist, I would. It has been my experience that rosin has only a "mild" effect when pulling a string, so I'll refer to it as such. Whenever I am making a new bow or refinishing an old one I use this It is very good with haired bows, which I believe it to be. Whenever I wash my hair, my preference is Andrea, since it is more worn in and aged.
Selected User Reviews For Kolstein Cello Rosin
The reviews I read on various websites led me to selecting this rosin. I spent a significant amount of time reviewing rosins before choosing this one. Those who tried this rosin absolutely adored it. The website of the manufacturer, Kolstein, was also visited. I sent a message to the company via email, and they responded the next In my question as to whether I should get the Medium grade or the softer one, I was said to get the medium. Based on the reviews that I've read, the fact that I live in a dry environment makes all the difference when it comes to rosins. The reason I like the rosin is that it doesn't have any scent. The time was coming, so I stopped rosining my bow and I wiped my cello strings every chance I got so that as much of the old rosin as possible could be removed. As a side note, I was using Hill dark rosin, which I had read is highly recommended and used by "pros". Because there was little rosin on my bow, I had some scratchiness and skating, as well as a My skills are not that great, so I suppose it could not have Afterwards, I applied the Kolstein rosin and I'm pleased to say I sounded more pleasant than I have in the past. To be fair, I have been practicing a lot these days and working really hard on my intonation and tone, but still, it seemed like my tone was much better than it ever has It was unlikely that there would be much change since there is no magic rosin. When you are not in the habit of using it, your intonation will be bad. Nevertheless, my tone of voice did seem to have improved a lot. In my opinion, I felt that the hairs grabbed the strings from the get-go without that little delay I often experience (too much) especially when I was playing the lower strings which naturally are harder to move. This rosin did not cause a delay for me. In general, the product appears to be quite good, so the 5 stars go to it. It would be a good idea to order it from the Kolstein website because I am sure they will stand behind their product, and in fact will probably also take care to send you a good cake. Rosin I received from the manufacturer was very squished, like it had been stored in a hot warehouse and then damaged by shipping. It is very uneven at the top to the point where I am not sure whether I should use it long-term since it may cause the hair to become damaged. There is a photo of the cake's lumpy, uneven top, which I also discussed in the review, but I am not sure how the photo would be viewable to /who/ would be reading Similarly, the gold cardboard tube that protects the cake has been cracked on both sides, looking as though it was smashed, and the cake itself has been melted and squashed. I would order directly from Kolstein's and pay the shipping fees again if I could make it happen again, and maybe I will have to. that I'm on PITB, I have to take care of it. A RECENT UPDATE In retrospect, I should have written this update sooner, but I was too busy. I sent a photo of the squished rosin cake to the seller. They promptly reimbursed me (or Amazon That is not correct) and the squished one did not have to be returned to the store. However, the new cake I ordered direct from Kolstein is clearly not appropriate. The top edge (circumference) of the cake is raised, so when you draw across the hairs, they only touch the edges, until you wear them down -- which I haven't yet done. Although it is not a big issue, I would rather have had a flat/smooth surface that engages all of the hairs fully. Since writing my original review I discovered that my cello luthier / dealer in Santa Barbara, who is picky and just does cellos, and does not do all strings, exclusively sells Kolstein rosin on her website. An additional endorsement I can offer you.
I am semi-retired The surface is hard scratching the surface is not necessary I am much happier with the sound now that I'm using I was not able to receive the rosin pictured here since it did not look like the one I received a rosin that was bumpy and lacked consistency. The quantity I received was half of what I expected There is a cover on the rosin that conceals the true shape of the substance. I have updated It was easy and convenient to purchase cello rosin by ordering directly from the Kolstein website (excellent communication and customer.
A beautiful package of rosin is delivered, however the rosin is melted and the velvet cover is stuck to In addition, the bottom of the rosin melted to the casing, causing the casing to split and the rosin to become completely twisted.
I have found that there isn't a perfect rosin for every bow or instrument because of all the variables. Before I got my new bow, I had been using Andrea and Hill and Hidersine. Andrea did everything I wanted with no issues. There was a problem with none of them when used Kolstein has received positive reviews, so I decided to try it out. taste, it has just the right amount of bite, and stays consistent all the way to the end There have been reviews saying it doesn't leave as much dust on instruments as other rosins do. In my experience, I did not find that to be the case, but I wipe down the instrument after every I have the only objection to this rosin, and that is that I have to apply it a lot more often than I have with others.
I was unable to use the product as it was No matter how many times I tried, I could not reshape it. As of now, I have reordered and repaid We hope the replacement is better than the previous one.
The rosin arrived in a different package,
with a gold case, a thin red felt swatch that had peeled from the bottom and a rubbery boot that covered the rosin, perhaps to protect it during shipping. There was no symmetry to this rose and it appeared that all of it had melted into one part. Maybe useable, There is a better product to buy locally. I will not buy this again.
I won't use any other rosin after this one, with much better grip than Hill&Co That's about the same as a Sons or Petz Kolophonium, and a thousand times better than Thomastik trash. Nevertheless, the only rosin I prefer is Kolstein Ultra Bass Rosin due to its exceptional grip. In hot weather, you should not do this. Days that are humid (as they are in most of In Brazil), but I enjoy a dangerous lifestyle as well. It may be difficult to pull out your bow at the end of a long note if you are not familiar with its feel. But sometimes I switch between this Cello one (on very hot days) and mix them (once a week each), so I get a lot of use out of both.
The tip of the bow is much more enjoyable to play when the bow is close to the tip. As a result, I can play more notes and hear more sound at the tip of my finger. It has been a while since I have used my bow, but it has improved greatly. A very nice choice for smooth legato or spiccato in extreme situations. My rosin is easily dropped due to my habit, but the sturdy cardboard case & the rosin cloth prevent this As a result, I am unlikely to break or chip it due to the layers of rosin around it. My sincere thanks go out to Mr. Jonathan May for the recommendation. As long as I am playing, I will use Kolstein. The 14-year-old Alexander is a Cello Fellow in Florida, the same year he was born.
