Premium rosin from American bowmakers William Salchow. The first choice rosin of many professional players. Light or dark.

Works as rosin should
Pros: It seems to bed in more quickly than my rather aged block of Hidersine, suggesting it is rather softer, but so far I haven't had to rosin the bow more than before, so it seems to stick to the hair well enough. I bought it to go with a new bow, so it's hard to tell whether it made any significant difference to the bow's performance, but it certainly doesn't detract from it.
Cons: It isn't in a box, but comes in wrapped in a thick cloth with a tie which works, but is a bit more fiddly to do up than a box would be.

Pros: The dark cello rosin has a lovely colour, feels rich and dark. You don't need a lot.
Cons: Using a little bit more made my new strings very scratchy - was hard to get the balance right - but it may be my bow.

The quality of rosin can make a difference
Pros: Easy to use Produces good tone. In fact even improved the quality of sound when I used it with my old £30 bow
Cons: Needing to use more than my previous product but this is probably due to having a new bow Expensive
