This review is from: The Original Hill Dark Rosin For Violin - Viola - Cello

This rosin has been recommended to me by my violin teacher and I am very happy with the results of using it. The consistency of the rosin is softer then other brands I tried, and thus makes the application onto the bow hair much easier. The rosin stays on the hair for quite a long time, and treated bow produces very clean sound, without any harshness or hisses. Residue fall out onto the violin varnish seems less messy then from some stock rosins I tried. Wrapping the rosin in cloth/sponge is a nice touch - no plastic box to rattle inside your violin case, and your hands stay clean while handling it.

I tend to use softer rosins in low humidity settings, and lighter rosins in high humidity. Hill dark rosin works wonderfully, especially in winter, when heated rooms are often very low in humidity. The rosin enables the hairs to grip the strings without being sticky, and gives a beautiful clean sound. If you're experiencing problems with playing in a low-humidity setting, this is the first product to try.

Not too bad. I was expecting it to be a little softer, but it is way better than the original rosin that I got with my violin. I don't have a lot of experience with rosins, but this does exactly what it advertises and works just fine.
