Am a repeat purchaser of this rosin. One might consider it the best violin rosin for kids - if your the sort who take kids' tone seriously. This is the Goldilocks Rosin - not too sticky, not too hard. We use it in 4-season midwest, never felt it was too "dark" or to "light". If you like to impart a bit of rosin snobbery to your kids, then by all means get them stuff with special particles in it, or more than one rosin to feel important as they show off all the stuff in their case to their friends. But really this rosin will produce great traction in nearly all temperatures and seems to last a really long time.

I'm maybe a mid-intermediate violin player and had been using another well-regarded green rosin for a few years when my teacher (who plays with the Symphony) casually mentioned that she uses Salchow. So I ordered some to give it a try – and it is great. I'm still developing an ear but my sound has improved and staccato is now duck-simple. And it you're wondering, 1) no dust or powder to mess things up; 2) humidity and temperature for the violin are kept not too cold, not too hot, not too humid, not too dry; 3) older German violin with Dominants.

Nice thick block of rosin and seems to work well. But the best thing about it is when you can't remember how to re-wrap the cloth like it arrived, it turns into a game and you can waste time trying to figure it out. It needs a container instead of the gold rubber band and button thing.

I had great hopes for this rosin; seems like it is a winner on the various reviews and at a somewhat reasonable price. But it's just no doing it for me. Has good initial bite but it doesn't last long. By the end of a 30 minute practice it was sliding all over the strings and howling. Just couldn't get a grip without lots of pressure. Going back to Liebenzeller gold IV cello rosin. It's expensive but worth it!

Salchow rosin is the only rosin I recommend. It is 100% pure rosin with no additives. William Salchow is arguably the top current bow maker (certainly the most famous) in the world along with Bernard Millant. Beware of rosins with metallic additives such as gold. They are harmful to the strings and more importantly the varnish of a violin due to their abrasive effect. Manufacturers devise new rosin recipes as a marketing strategy to keep customer interest. There are few things that are truly "new and improved" when it comes to violins, with the exception of advances in the manufacturing of strings.
