    just got my first personal viola after playing it at school, and i fully thought that my dark rosin was a container with white powder in it and kept trying to open it 😂. thanks for this instructional video, probably saved me from destroying this rosin lol

    Really nice video -- covers all the essentials that new (and many not-so-new) players need to know.
    I just turn the rosin to a different angle each time I rosin the bow, rather than turning it while I am rosining. (If it starts to become uneven, it's easy enough to be sure to run the bow over the high spots the next time.)

    Great content! I wish I knew about round cakes earlier. Now I've got a large groove in a classic Andrea cake that I can't ignore. New Andrea rosins are made by an inferior company, so I'll have to use up my grooved rosin in a creative way. Thanks again for the tips!

      You can probably go the opposite way and smooth out your rosin... Let me know if that works!

    Rotating the rosin to keep it flat is a groovy idea!

    My bow is spiccating like crazy, especially on on the A string. and I am far away from playing Paganini's 1st. :) Am I over-rosining, over-tighting or just bowing incorrectly?

    I'm beginning to see the light about the merits of dark rosin.
