Rosin
- A Note On Rosin As a general rule of thumb, violins and violas should look for "light" rosins and cellos and basses should look for "dark" rosins. Bass rosin generally says "bass rosin" on the container. Typically, boxed rosin is cheaper than caked forms and easier to manipulate. Caked rosin is higher-quality and more pure in composition. Either boxed or caked rosin will be fine. Looking for something custom? Check out these rosins: https://www.connollymusic.com/magic-rosin
