High quality rosin enables a perfect bowing without scratching, especially if only a thin layer of rosin has been applied. In general: 

• violinists and violists need a harder or dryer rosin; 

• cellists a medium rosin;

• bassists a softer rosin.

 Another factor influencing the choice of rosin is the kind of core material of the strings in use:

• steel strings can be better played with a hard or dry rosin,

• synthetic strings and gut or gut wound strings with a softer rosin.
