I have been using Sherman's Bass Rosin for about 50 years now. I find it as good or better than other rosins. Very good value for the price. I get the sound from my bass that I want when I use Sherman's.

Artino 5 Hole Cello Endpin Stop - Rosewood Review

Artino 5 Hole Cello Endpin Stop - Rosewood
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Perhaps it is because I have seen a similar product of bigger sizes. I was disappointed when I received this endpin stop. The wood pieces are 7"x2.75" and 0.25" thick. The endpin holes are relatively small. Therefore you need to remove the endpin rubber to use it.
The craftsmanship is good. If you like a light weight design, this product might be good for you. But personally I still think $20 is too expensive.
I learned the lesson to buy anything online only when the seller gives clear description of an item. A good picture is never good enough!

Wittner 7/8 - 4/4 Cello Ultra Composite Tailpiece with 4-tuners and Nylon Tailgut Review

Wittner 7/8 - 4/4 Cello Ultra Composite Tailpiece with 4-tuners and Nylon Tailgut
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I just purchased a used Franz Hoffman Maestro Cello out of Ann Arbor Michigan. That cello came with this very tailpiece. It works very well. After receiving an ebony tailpiece out of a Tulsa Strings Store with the heavy metal Wittner individual fine tuners, I made my decision not to use that one based on the composite comparison in hand.
I have a second cello, an Eastman Strings 200 Series Cello which requires setup. This cello will receive the same tailpiece and was actually recommended by the luthier in Tulsa after I'd purchased the ebony. I love honesty but I'd also like to hear from others. I'm curious why anyone would pay 51 dollars for a Wittner Aluminum tailpiece when this one is available for 23 dollars?

Wittner 15.5" - 16.5" Viola Ultra Composite Tailpiece with 4-tuners and Nylon Tailgut Review

Wittner 15.5 - 16.5 Viola Ultra Composite Tailpiece with 4-tuners and Nylon Tailgut
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Beautifully made using latest high-tech materials make this tailpiece lighter than any other I have tried. This provided a small but noticable improvement in the voice of my instrument. Also it was easy to get the afterlenght just right with this part so I am pleased in all respects. Well worth the price. The only thing that could make it better and kept me from giving five stars is a minor redesign allowing a bar for the strings to rest on between the adjusters and the nut would keep the string lengths uniform and prevent minor voice changes as the fine tuners move through their range.
Still, very much worth the price and light, attractive, and good sounding. I am well pleased.

In the product info section it says "produces less dust". well that's not really true it produces plenty of dust. If you want rossin that won't make dust get jade rossin. Other than the whole dust thing it's pretty good stuff and the plastic grip on the outside is excellent.

Hill VP-02D Rosin Dark 20gm Cake on Nylon Cloth with Elastic Loop Review

Hill VP-02D Rosin Dark 20gm Cake on Nylon Cloth with Elastic Loop
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've played violin for 21 years. My parents bought this rosin for me when I was still a beginner. I am now on my third or fourth cake of this rosin and would never choose to buy anything else. This rosin lasts forever. I like the dark rosin especially because it seems to go on the bow easier and does not need to be "re-rosined" every thirty minutes. I've tried the light rosin. Some say light rosin is better for summer, and dark rosin is better in the winter, but I can't tell that it makes a difference. I also like the shape of the rosin because the bow doesn't slide around on it, especially once I start making a little track in the middle. I've never liked the rosin with the cork on the sides because when the bow hits the sides, I always expect a bow hair to snap.
The only thing I was surprised at was that I thought I was just buying one cake, when I was actually buying a pack of three. I wouldn't have ordered three because one lasts so long. I guess I'll be finding someone else who needs some rosin.

Larsen Cello Rosin Review

I am a cellist, and use this rosin. I like it very much. I often find it hard to differentiate between different rosins. I have 3 different kinds right now, but while I am trying to make up my mind about the other two, I know that I will like this rosin every time I use it. It is has a nice balance between grip and smoothness. Is it worth the money? I can't say, but rosin lasts for years so splurging on it will not end up being a huge extra cost in the long run.

This is an okay rosin. Take it from me-a violin player of 6 years. It sticks to the bow nicely, and does not produce much dust that could mark the violin. However, this rosin melts EXTREMELY easily, and is rather brittle. All in all, a fairly good rosin.

The Original Bernardel Rosin Violin Viola NEW Review

The Original Bernardel Rosin Violin Viola NEW
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
For the last few years I've been using rosins such as Hidersine, Dominant, and the expensive Guillaume. But I had a nagging feeling I could still attain something better from my rosin. 6 months ago while I was looking for a new bow, I noted to myself mentally that the luthier used Bernardel rosin. So just last week I decided to order a cake of Bernardel. The results blew away my underwhelming conceptions of the impact of rosin!
I've had some difficulty with slow bowing near the bridge, for that really full sound. Honest as I can be, the second I put this stuff on, all scratching at the sound point nearest the bridge was completely eliminated, and my volume and fullness remarkably augmented.
I next attempted other types of bow strokes, and I became completely blown away by the compliance of this rosin. Literally new nuances have been added to my sound. The off-the string and bouncing strokes have acquired an unbelievable crispness of execution that I had honestly never even conceived. When I attempt ricochet across the four strings successively, the bow pops perfectly on each string, back and forth, with unbelievable articulation.
Employing this product has introduced me to the fact that your sound and your entire way of playing in regards to your right-hand can be revolutionized by a simple and small investment. I highly recommend Bernardel with my utmost confidence! Let me finally add that this rosin produces basically no dust with almost unnoticeable accretion of residue on the top plate and on the bow shaft.

Pirastro Wondertone Solo 4/4 Violin String Set - Medium Gauge with Loop End Steel E Review

Pirastro Wondertone Solo 4/4 Violin String Set - Medium Gauge with Loop End Steel E
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have been an immense fan of Pirastro's strings for over ten years and am always excited to try their new products. Thus, I purchased a set of Wondertones when they first came out a few years ago. But to be honest, I wasn't all that happy with them. Don't get me wrong, they are still better than most every other string that you will find (especially Dominant), but they just aren't quite as good as they could be. They lack the brillance and projection of the Evah Pirazzis or the rich, warm, almost dark tone of the Obligatos or Olivs.
If you are very particular about your violin strings, I would probably spend the extra $20 or so and pick up a set of Pirazzis or Obligatos.

Pirastro Wondertone Solo strings offer excellent versatility and outstanding playing characteristics.

The result is nearly no break-in time and exceptional tuning stability. These strings offer brilliant, focused tone with unequalled set harmony and powerful, direct projection.
