Well in case you haven't been able to sleep at night
wondering what kind of rosin violinist Anne-Sophie
Mutter uses, a still from a German documentary on
her seems to suggest, if my eyes are not deceiving
me, that she uses Andrea Paganini Solo rosin.
As it happens, I will be picking up a cake of Andrea
rosin myself, probably in October. I'm hoping that
it will make my bow perform a little better until
such time as I can get a new one.
Andrea rosin is expensive. But a cake of rosin will
last for years.
From the same documentary, Anne-Sophie's "Lord
Dunn-Raven" Strad in its case.

Good luck with getting a new bow and the expensive rosin. Give it your best shot! Or draw? What, btw, do you call the process of drawing the bow back and forth across the strings to make music? Fiddling? If you say "playing the violin" I shall personally come to Spokane and swat you.
You are most probably right, but it sounded tough didn't it?
Bet you won't, neither! 😆 :p
@ Linda.:lol:As far as I know, pulling or drawing.Hey, I wouldn't bullshit you! At leasy not when it comes to a serious subject like rosin!:lol:+ Hope you ate feeling okay. :yes:
😆 @ Linda! Yeah, it did sound awful tough! 😀
I HAVE been told more than once that I'm a tough old bird.
Good catch. That's the rosin you were talking about a few months back when you first bought your violin, isn't it?Hope you had a great weekend!:heart:

No, that's the Pirastro Oliv rosin, which I finally got. It's very good rosin but I've heard that the Andrea can help give you a more solid pull because it's very sticky. So I think I'm going to use a base coat of the Pirastro (which is already on there anyway) and a light coat of the Andrea over the top of it. My weekend, ah I'm full of such fears lately. Maybe I need anti-depressants or something. Hope yours was great. Spending time with the new grandson?:heart:
Thank you for the solution to my sleepless nights, Ed, and good luck with the fancy rosin!:)
