Will the above work efficiently on a Erhu bow..?? Thanks JJ If you haven't read this already.. "Jade rosin for violin, viola, cello and bass is widely popular for its hypoallergenic formula and remarkable dust-free properties. Highly refined and free of metallic residues, it is known for its extremely smooth, yet firm grip." Anyway, any violin rosin that's hard and dry is sufficient for erhu. There are many different rosins out there and everyone has their preference. Regards, paul... |

I haven't used L'Opera Jade Colophane rosin. Based on the description and reviews, I am concerned that it is too sticky for erhu. Look for a good quality dry European violin rosin in a light amber color. The darker rosins are best for thicker strings, as on a viola or cello. People do have different preferences. Maybe the best rosin for you depends on your strings, erhu, and humidity. I have liked Pirastro Obligato, and currently use Bernardel. These are about the same price as the Jade.
Best wishes,
David

Best wishes, David Actually, I've seen many reviews of violinists complaining about Jade's lack of grip, although it is often praised for giving a smooth sound. |

I just got my own jade rosin and it definetely works on an erhu bow. I was used to using a much more grippy and sticky rosin (Olive Evah Pirastro Rosin) which I preferred because of its bite. But the jade really does give a smooth sound. Btw, this rosin is not made of tree sap, its chemicals in case you didn't know. And its pleasant color is another plus, too! But if you are looking to greatly improve your sound, try getting a better bridge or set of strings. Rosin is important of course, but in my opinion, other than letting you make sound with your instrument, rosin doesn't make anywhere as big difference as a good bow, set of strings, etc . . .  |
