I asked her about the rosin. She told me the first time I play it, I&#8217;ll need to apply a lot of rosin on it, till the yellow hairs turn white. If the rosin is smooth, I would need to score it to get the powder to stick to the bow. My rosin cake was indeed smooth.<\/p>\n<p>So I did what she advised, and tonight, I got some sound out of the violin. And man, is that thing loud! And since I don&#8217;t have any bowing technique, I wasn&#8217;t making the prettiest of sounds.<\/p>\n<p>My next-door neighbors have loud conversations on the terrace, while my downstairs neighbor does obnoxious things in the early morning.
