I use gold fleck!. It produces a broad and warm sound!. It's not so much the color!. a softer rosin will give you more dust!. lack for a better word!. It will rub off better!. A hard rosin has to be scratched to rub off on your bow!. You can go to shar music!.com they have a huge variety of products!. As long as you don't go with supersensitive you will have to try some out!. But I defiantly suggest Gold Fleck about 10 bucks!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I personally think dark rosin is better!. I'm not sure why I think that way, since I have never done any experimenting playing with both types of rosin, but I've always gotten the impression that dark rosin provides a better, smoother tone!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
