How do i apply rosin to a cello bow?
Tighten the cello bow to your most desired tension for playing or performance.Remove the rosin from the rosin sleeve. If it is a new cake of rosin, lightly roughen the surface either with sandpaper or with light scoring from a pocketknife. Hold the rosin so the clear amber front of the rosin is facing the taut bow.Run the rosin gently along the bow so a light powdering of rosin is deposited along the hair of the bow. Using short strokes, rosin the bow near the frog, then run the rosin from the frog of the bow all the way to the tip at least twice. Be careful not to touch the bow hair with your fingers. Blow gently on the rosin to clear the powder from its surface, then put the rosin away.
