I've been using this since elementary school. That was almost 30 years ago. It still exists, so it must be good!

Ok, I've been trying a number of different rosins, and so far this would have to be the best. It seems to have good grip, not too dusty, and not too expensive. But for those allergic to pine sap, try the Jade Rosin, or other hypo allergenic types. This rosin has enough grip for fiddling, and use on Viola and Cello too. But it is not rough sounding like many of the darker rosins. It way out performs any of the cheaper rosins. I do have several lighter rosins that grip as well, but they also make a lot of dust. I have some dark (black) rosins that grip better and dust less, but cause a gritty sound on the violin.
If you play where it is cold (below 45 f) or very humid, you might want a darker rosin, but for most, this will become one of your favorite rosins.
Don't over rosin, and DO clean your strings when you wipe your violin down to put it away. Rosin build up on the strings is as bad as not enough rosin on your bow. This rosin is so good and versitle that it should come with every new violin and bow.

It's rosin, it works well (for a beginner like me, at the very least), and it's inexpensive. There isn't much more someone such as myself can add. If you're new to the violin, you couldn't go wrong with this.
