Good value for money

Solid performance for the price point. It lasts a long time even with daily use. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that the case lid feels a bit flimsy, but the rosin itself is top-notch.

Smooth application

The texture is very smooth. Unlike some cheaper rosins that feel gritty, this one glides over the bow hair evenly. Highly recommended for students looking to upgrade their supplies.

Perfect for my Erhu

I was struggling to find a rosin that worked well with my Erhu without being too sticky. This Pirastro black rosin is exactly what I needed. It provides excellent grip and the tone is much clearer now.

Excellent tone production

This rosin has improved the projection of my violin significantly. The sound is warmer and more resonant. I appreciate that it is imported directly from Germany as advertised.

Great quality, fast shipping

Authentic German product. The packaging was secure and the rosin cake arrived intact. It works wonderfully on my violin, though it took a few strokes to build up the initial layer.

Standard for traditional instruments

As an Erhu player, I have tried many brands. Model 9005 is consistent and reliable. It doesn't create excessive dust, which keeps my instrument cleaner during long practice sessions.

5 FAQ

Q: Is this product authentic Pirastro?

A: Yes, all our Pirastro products are sourced directly from authorized distributors in Germany. Each item comes with original packaging and branding to guarantee authenticity.

Q: Is this rosin suitable for a viola as well?

A: While primarily marketed for Violin and Erhu, many viola players also use this model successfully due to its balanced grip. However, for specific viola needs, you might consider our dedicated viola series.

Q: Does this come with a cloth for cleaning?

A: No, the package includes only the rosin cake in its protective plastic case. We recommend using a separate soft, dry microfiber cloth to clean your instrument strings after playing.

Q: What is the difference between black and amber rosin?

A: Black rosin is typically softer and provides more grip, making it ideal for cooler climates or instruments like the Erhu. Amber rosin is usually harder and produces a lighter, brighter tone suited for warmer conditions.

Q: How often should I apply this rosin?

A: For regular practice, applying rosin every 2-3 hours of playing time is generally recommended. If you notice the bow slipping or the sound becoming thin, it is time to reapply.
