Yes Den use a clean cloth but not a cotton one try to keep the cloth a stiff material shave the rosin onto the cloth then run the bow through it, Keep in mind this is not a practical way of using your rosin it is somewhat wasteful, However if you don't have the time and you wish to have a bow ready to use at the fastest possible time then this will certainly do it. It is always easier to work on the bow outside of the erhu however it is not possible all the time to do this so yes it would be better to have the bow outside of the Erhu God Bless Music units the world and is the common language that needs no translation Last edited on Sun Sep 7th, 2008 03:22 am by Clyde |

Just one more note for all you using your rosins try not to use different types of rosins don't mix them on your bow without cleaning your bow first to clean off all the older rosins that are not the same. God Bless

thanks Clyde for the info. I just got intrigued by the idea and wouldnt mind experimenting for the heck of it. I do think I could spare a trifle amount off my rosin block, at the rate it is going it looks like that cake will last out the milleneum. Den

Hi, Den. Sorry about the late response, haven't been checking this forum much these days. Actually I don't use Rosin powder for the bow at all. I just apply some inside the pegs whenever I change the strings. I actually brought it for my other peg instrument but I figured why not use it Erhu pegs so I can increase their grip. Clyde right about using Rosin powder, be careful of over application so the extra powder doesn't go on the strings. I won't say stuff like don't do it Den, just because I feel its not cool or not the way I do it like some people, but I would just be careful just in case. But Den, if you got some good results using Rosin powder on the bow share it with the group~! We would love to hear if you discover some new technique or methods with application.

regarding rosining a bow, I always thought that for example, rosining with a new cake and new bow , took a certain amount of time and effort. a while before the sheen on the new cake develops a cloudy surface and the bow actually makes noise. and then after that, touching up occasionally only needs a few swipes. I guess I always assumed it was because it needed to generate some mild degree of friction heat to subdue the rosin while stroking the bow to break in a new cake and new bow. after its been played a while and the rosin cake is broke in and the bow is "previously rosined" then with that grip, the imperceptable amount of friction heat needed is almost instantaneous and all is well again with not too many strokes. is there anything to that theory or did I just think that and never considered it after that idea.?? I never had it explained why the first time out with each is so time consuming and after that it happens quickly. Den

Just one more note about this rosin subject, no mater how your using it even if your just sanding the shine of a new block becarefull not to get it all over you or inhale any of it, keep it away from pets and especially kids. Thanks for posting guys great topic God Bless Music units the world and is the common langauge that needs no translation

well, I had just been trying to picture what is happening with traditional rosining , at the molecular level so to speak. I can imagine where turpentined powdered rosin would penetrate thoroughly , but it would be lacking the heat/friction part of the equation , I would guess that the end result would be playable but with a noticeable difference compared to the traditional heat/pressure method. Then I got to wondering if a round wheel of rosin, rotary turning at slow r.p.m's would rosin a bow in just one pass. just glide the bow length slowly with light tension onto a rotating drum of rosin would be the equal of a dozen passes of bow over a cake of rosin. another experiment to think about.
