## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Holy moly does this stuff rip!
*by T***5 on March 30, 2014*

I'm primarily a cellist and have been using medium-dark rosins in the past, but never have I used such a powerful rosin before. I know they say it's for violins, violas, and cellos, but I'd never use this on my violin personally. Maybe if I was a fed up second chair who was tired of being overshadowed by some pompous concert master and just wanted to blow them out of the water with a wall of sound I'd use this rosin on my violin, but really I think it's best if you just stick to using it on cellos (perhaps for violas as well, as they tend to be covered up easily in orchestra playing).I wish I had this rosin back in my busking days when I'd play at crowded farmers markets and had to project over the background noise. Seriously, the magnitude of sound is really surprising. This does come at a cost though, the sound has a crunchy texture and clumsy handling compared to other rosins. Flawless, unnoticeable entrances and string initiations may prove more difficult to get perfect. For airy and light playing this may not be the best choice of rosin, or for louder cellos trying to blend into an orchestra. But if you're playing a concerto and have to sing out over a thick orchestral part, look no further.The rosin goes on well but leaves a thick, coarse dust. It comes off easily but be sure to clean your strings frequently, this rosin will build up if given the chance, so keep a rag on hand to clean your strings after every practice (a good habit for any rosin, but especially helpful here).Overall I'm quite please and am glad to add this rosin to my selection.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ... Rosin for the Violin is probably one of the finest rosins in the world
*by G***Y on March 29, 2016*

The Original Hill Dark Rosin for the Violin is probably one of the finest rosins in the world, and certainly the finest at the price through Amazon. Hill has been formulating the finest rosins in England since 1762. They arrive not in a box or other awkward container taking up limited room in your violin case, but a small pouch tied about with a looped ribbon which attaches to a button on the opposite side. Each time the rosin is used, the pouch forms its own rosin holder to protect the rosin from one's hands and clothing. After application, the pouch is closed, and ribbon is wrapped about the top, and seals around an attractive button. This is just the beginning. The Original Hill Dark Rosin for the Violin applies smoothly, uniformly, and leaves very little rosin dust on my violin after playing. It clings to the bow very well, and when compared to lesser quality brands which typically leave a visible pile of rosin below the bridge, Hill's leaves almost none. I have never had to reapply rosin with Original Hill Dark Rosin for the Violin, and it typically lasts through several sessions of practice and play. It is slightly more expensive than others on the market, but it is worth every cent per gram. I have found that the dark rosin is the finest of them all, and provides a larger "sweet spot" for contact while still offering great flexibility.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for Violin, Viola, or Cello players
*by J***Z on March 30, 2023*

Great sound, and great value for money; it's rather weird when opening and closing it, but overall perfect for anyone looking for quality rosin.
