Gewa Violin/Viola Rosin

Overly brittle and a little difficult to get the block started but once it had been 'broken in' I can't make any real complaints. Does seem to grip the bowhair well, almost too well in that if you apply too much rosin it cannot be easily tapped off. But as I said, you get what you pay for, and this is a good sized block of rosin in a practical shaped applicating container for a very good price.
