How to apply rosin to your bow

In this video Myles explains the purpose of rosin and how to correctly apply it to your bow.

In particular Myles demonstrates how to apply rosin to a brand new bow (and what a new bow without rosin sounds like), and provides a basic guide to follow as to how much rosin you should apply once you have started using your bow.

Tips for new bows:
- Aim for an even application across the length of the bow
- Work the rosin on in a short back and forth motion to apply a consistent amount of rosin to the new bow
- 10-15 seconds for a new bow should be sufficient to apply the correct amount of rosin
- If you apply too much rosin, don't be alarmed, it will wear off through playing.

Tips for applying rosin to a bow that has already had rosin applied to it:
- Use long strokes
- A basic guide to follow is that for every hour's worth of practice, apply 10 even strokes to your bow
- Other methods could be once a week, or a little bit every time you play. Finding the correct amount will take some time, based on how much you are playing your instrument!
