THE BEST ROSIN I HAVE FOUND ON THE MARKET

very pretty rosin also smells good when applying to my bow

This is an excellent rosin for humid days and yet it can stand up to dryer climates as well. I find the gold flakes do make for a warmer and slightly more focused sound. A step up from many rosins out there

I love this Rosin. Sticks to the bow really well, and doesn't leave a mess or residue. My biggest complaint is the packaging. Why does it come in a cardboard box? At this price, they could have used a tub like Jade. I do like that it's attached to the protective cloth but over time, the box is going to look beat up.

I bought Jade rosin and Goldflex rosin to try. I am a beginner violin player and started playing barely 3 weeks ago. I am desperate to improve my violin sound in leaps and heaps because (1) I am eager to perform to my friends, (2) I started as an adult so want to save embarrassment in front of those kids who learning since young and (3) I have music background in Clarinet thus I have own high expectation to pick up faster due to having "an edge". After reviewing Amazon reviews, I began experimenting by trying rosins and strings. I own an EuroString Model 100 violin and wanting to know if getting better strings like Dominants and better rosins will improve my sound at least 20%. As I am not sure how much I can commit in playing the Violin, thus I will stick to Eurostring for now. Both Jade and Goldflex impress me as they really do not produce much dust after bowing. Jade, however, does leave its coating residue on the string and thus need to wipe off each time after playing. Goldflex, on the other hand, does not leave as much on the string. Comparing both on picking up the strings more precisely during bowing, I personally felt Goldflex does better than Jade. Jade made me sounded "sticky" and not so smooth which Goldflex is able to provide me. Thus, I recommend Goldflex to any beginner violin players as it does not eat into pocket with its pricing, it does not product much dust and still provides good string contact. Do note not to apply too much of rosin on the string - 2-3 swipe of rosin on the bow should be sufficient or at your discretion.

Ok, so you all read my review on the Infeld Red strings with the gold e string. This is the rosin I bought to use with them. Cheap rosin on good strings will just mess them up. No matter if you're a beginner or a seasoned pro, use a good rosin. If you have cheap rosin on your bow now, go to youtube and watch the video on how to remove it. Follow the instructions carefully, I did it and I'm so glad I did. I can really hear a difference in my playing. As I stated in my prior review, I am a beginner, but I have been playing other instruments for years. I am now, after 15 or less lessons, playing in a professional volunteer orchestra 2nd violin. If I had not invested in good strings and rosin, I would still be sounding scratchy and be years away from playing with an orchestra. I have practiced like crazy, so you have to dedicate yourself. This rosin is like butter on your strings. Be sure to wipe your strings with a clean tissue after playing to keep them in good shape. You will need to use fine grade sand paper or a nail file when you first get it to roughen the surface, only do about ten full swipes and a little extra at the base and tip. This is with a clean new bow, or a bow that has been cleaned of old rosin. You only need to rosin once a week after that , maybe twice if you are practicing for a couple of hours a day. Happy playing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
