Gewa Rosin Karwendel

Use: for violin bows:
++ : really cheap and very good for its price
+- Take care not to touch the hair of the bow with the plastic of the package. Not a big issue though.
- you get only a small quantity of the product; however you have enough for several months.

All and all use this instead of the rosin that comes with the violin (I bought a Stentor SR1500 Violin Student II): while you might not see the difference in the beginning, after some time you really must pass to something better, and Gewa Rosin Karwendel is a good product for its price.

This is a very good product as far as I'm concerned. Theres just the small problem that the bow hairs will sometimes fall between the rosin and the cork holster.

Unless you're a rosin purist and you're convinced that you can't play without your hand-carved, custom-licked antarctic pine colophonium, this will do the job. And it's reasonable.

I've been using this as a beginner violinist so I can only speak about it as I've used it.

Obviously not professional grade rosin but does help produce a good sound for beginners/intermediates !

Pros:
Helps to produce a good sound
Great value for money

Cons:
A tad difficult to apply at first

Does as advertised, so I've had no reason to complain!

When it's this cheap you can't argue with it. Rosin tends to last for a very long time and this is perfectly good for use as a student of the violin.

I like that it comes in a handy box and as a light rosin the sound is airy and bright. It grips well to the strings and the bow.

Thanks Thomann!

it's small but you don't need a big one since a bow rubs one line.

This is a very good entry-level rosin for violin starters, most probably the best in its price range.

More experienced players will notice some difference, but it does decently what it intends to do.

Those types of rosin, when its in a box is not that comfortable

This is good for beginners. Easy to handle due to the channel shape. I used it with Pirastro Tonica, but was unhappy with its performance.

I brought a new Pirastro Tonica Rosin from a local shop in Singapore and very happy with it.
