Gewa Rosin Karwendel

This rosin reminds me of the rosin that I used when I first started playing (many years ago). It still adds a nice bite to the bow, which is great for up-tempo lively playing. It's also very easy and clean to use as the rosin block has a thin cork covering on the bottom and two long sides, which totally avoids getting sticky fingers. Only the red case has changed - when I was a kid it was cardboard, and now it's plastic - it would be nice if they went back to cardboard.

It doesn what it should
One tiny thing is that the wood piece on the side isn't glue on 100% and the bow hair get stuck in between sometime. And the wood piece on the side fell off eventually. DOesn't really affect the use tho.

I haven’t used any Rosin since my daughter was learning the violin when she was 8 through to 16
She’s 36 now so a few years ago.
I use a bow on electric guitar and bass for a bit of fun and can’t fault it.
Probably if I tried some more expensive Rosin I would see a difference but for what I use it for it ticks all the boxes for me.
The residue wipes off the strings easily enough with a soft cloth.
Worth the massive expense.👍

I bought this a few years ago and It's still going - the case and the shape of it make it easy and not messy for your fingers or storage.

My 6 YO kid uses this Gewa rosin with his 1/8 violin bow. It's a school grade instrument and since I'm not am expert I can't tell if this rosin is suitable for professional use. However it does the job for us and there's nothing to complain about it.

Good quality, size is right I need for my daughter’s small bow. I’ll order it again.

it is conveniently applied, gives a great grip with the strings

I mean, come on! 1.90? What else would you be buying. As always, great value from Thomann

Started to learn the violin and bought it as part of a beginner kit, it does exactly what it's supposed to!

Very good price. You just need to use a bit of sand paper or a key to scratch off the top layer the first time you use it, as you do with all rosin. The sound is quite good but not the best I've used. Perfect for beginners or as a spare.
