In order to use new rosin on a new violin bow, you'll need to be gentle with both the rosin and the bow. The new bow isn't yet used to the tension of heavy playing, and the rosin doesn't yet have a groove for the bow to slide smoothly. Make sure to prepare the rosin before you use it! | In order to use new rosin on a new violin bow, you'll need to be gentle with both the rosin and the bow.

#Clean off the rosin dust as soon as possible. Because of its origins, rosin dust should be wiped off the surface of the instrument as soon as practical. Remember that it came from a refining process to get turpentine, and that there will always remain a small residual fraction of that turpentine in the rosin. Turpentine is a very effective solvent for removing paints and varnishes, including the varnish on the top of your instrument. | #Clean off the rosin dust as soon as possible.
