V.com Weekend Vote: Do you prefer light rosin or dark rosin?

September 3, 2010 17:42

What kind of rosin do you prefer?

These days I'm using Andrea rosin (formerly Tartini), which I think I would have to classify as "dark."

Apparently, dark rosin works well in a dry climate, according to a nice tutorial on rosin on Shar's website. This may explain why I'm attracted to dark rosin, living in Southern California's very dry climate.

I had a student who was allergic to rosin, and so it's great that there are now hypoallergenic rosins, one type being Clarity rosin.

What kind do you use, and what are the characteristics that make your rosin work well for you?
