[ Piano - Violin ]

Months ago, still, I was frustratingly trying to play the violin without rosin, with a bow that had formerly been played with rosin, and I found techniques that worked, at least for around twenty minutes playing-time. Then a new viola and a new violin came in my possession that are played without rosin by me. Because the bows of these two instruments haven’t been in use for long, so far, the sound varies unwantedly sometimes on particular tones, but I am nearly sure that there won’t be complications later. And so I am jamming with the violin or the viola for ages on piano recordings of mine, at the moment, which I didn’t actually believe in anymore. Rosin would make a violin unplayable, in my case, due to a side effect of the medication, or a smaller damage on the nerves. One needs to try out the things if they suit you, and I have been trying out a lot already. Well, in this case, it’s very close to try out to play without rosin, when one has rosin on the bow ineffective. A positive side-impact is that I like the instruments more with these silent tones than a violin or viola would produce with rosin on the bow. Concretely, I just adapted myself to the handicap.
