Song Rosin (not Song's Rosin)

I've got a good piece of Erhu rosin to recommend.

Now I'm not saying its good because its got my middle name written on it, but I tried it and I like what I hear and feel. The rosin gives a smooth tone and has a good grab without sounding harsh.

I actually heard good things about the rosin sometime back and came across a booth selling the rosin in the Shanghai music fair. So I bought 2 boxes to try out. The maker says the rosin is specially made for the Erhu. They carry other models for violins and cellos as well.

The round rosin costs US$5 and the one in a box costs US$6.



You can purchase them here:
- Professional Rosin by Song
- Professional Rosin by Song (Box)

And by the way, I've put all the bridges in the post "Bridges Over Troubled Snakeskin" for sale as an item on my website.

Update: This rosin goes onto the bow hair very easily and it is very powdery. Not advisable for people with asthma.

  1. Just 2 boxes to try out first. If the feedback is good I'll order more.
