Good but takes getting used to
Very potent rosin. You only need a few strokes to get enough traction. If you apply too much, it can sound a bit harsh, so a light hand is required. Overall, a solid professional product.

Perfect for my Erhu
I was skeptical about using violin rosin on an Erhu, but this PIRASTRO black rosin works wonderfully. It gives the snake skin just the right amount of friction for clear, resonant notes.

Excellent grip for my violin
This black rosin provides incredible grip without being too sticky. I switched from a lighter rosin and immediately noticed a richer tone on my G string. Highly recommended for professional players.

Consistent performance
I have been using the 9005 series for years, and this black variant maintains the same high standard. It applies smoothly and doesn't clump up on the bow hair even in humid weather.

Great quality, minimal dust
The quality is top-notch as expected from a German brand. The low dust formula keeps my instrument cleaner than previous rosins I have used. Only giving 4 stars because the price is a bit high.

Deepens the tone significantly
As a cellist, I need rosin that can handle thick strings. This black rosin grabs instantly and produces a deep, warm tone. It is now my go-to choice for orchestral performances.
Q: Does the black color stain the instrument varnish?
A: No, the black color comes from the specific resin blend and carbon additives, not from dyes that stain. As with any rosin, simply wipe off excess dust after playing to keep your instrument clean.
Q: Is this rosin suitable for a beginner violin student?
A: Yes, while it is marketed towards professionals, beginners can certainly use it. However, because it is quite potent, we recommend applying it sparingly under the guidance of a teacher.
Q: Is this product authentic German import?
A: Yes, all PIRASTRO rosins sold through our store are genuine imports directly from Germany, complete with original packaging and authenticity markers.
Q: How long does one cake typically last with daily practice?
A: With daily practice of about 1-2 hours, a single cake of PIRASTRO rosin usually lasts between 6 to 9 months, depending on how heavily you apply it.
Q: Can I use this on a viola as well?
A: Absolutely. This rosin is universal and works excellently on violins, violas, cellos, and even traditional instruments like the Erhu.
