D'Addario rosin type VR-300, dark, elongated in a box.
Rosin comes in Light and Dark options. At D'Addario, our light rosin is hard, and our dark rosin is soft. The main difference between light and dark is the melting point, which translates to being either more or less sticky.
Dark rosin (soft) - viola or cello
Has a lower melting point and feels stickier. The extra stickiness helps players grip the string with the bow hair, making it great for people who play instruments with wider/longer bow hair.
Light rosin (hard) - violin or viola
is less sticky, making it easier for people who have lighter bows or who might not need the extra leverage on their bow. This is good for the upper string players, like violin or viola.
