I bought this rosin to replace my Jade rosin. I live in the South, where it is hot and humid most of the year. I loved my Jade, but I just wasn't getting the sound quality I wanted, and it didn't grip as well as it should. Right out of the package, I noticed the lovely shimmer of the gold flakes, which is pretty but unnecessary. The sound quality, however. WOW! Seriously, that is all I can say. My bow grips better, and my violin truly sings, which I have never really experienced before. It also leave little dust on my violin when I play, which is great. I am highly impressed with this rosin, and I am not sure I will change anytime soon.

I bought Jade rosin and Goldflex rosin to try. I am a beginner violin player and started playing barely 3 weeks ago. I am desperate to improve my violin sound in leaps and heaps because (1) I am eager to perform to my friends, (2) I started as an adult so want to save embarrassment in front of those kids who learning since young and (3) I have music background in Clarinet thus I have own high expectation to pick up faster due to having "an edge". After reviewing Amazon reviews, I began experimenting by trying rosins and strings. I own an EuroString Model 100 violin and wanting to know if getting better strings like Dominants and better rosins will improve my sound at least 20%. As I am not sure how much I can commit in playing the Violin, thus I will stick to Eurostring for now. Both Jade and Goldflex impress me as they really do not produce much dust after bowing. Jade, however, does leave its coating residue on the string and thus need to wipe off each time after playing. Goldflex, on the other hand, does not leave as much on the string. Comparing both on picking up the strings more precisely during bowing, I personally felt Goldflex does better than Jade. Jade made me sounded "sticky" and not so smooth which Goldflex is able to provide me. Thus, I recommend Goldflex to any beginner violin players as it does not eat into pocket with its pricing, it does not product much dust and still provides good string contact. Do note not to apply too much of rosin on the string - 2-3 swipe of rosin on the bow should be sufficient or at your discretion.

So decided that I needed a new rosin because my other was cracking(the type that came with the violin). I also got a new bow to go with it and it has improved my sound. I am using d'addario prelude strings which I just changed to because that is what I had at the moment. I usually use Red label strings which I love more just didn't have them on hand. I may start to experiment with other strings. But for what I have it has made a difference. It does take a bit to get the protective layer but it produced a good amount of rosin. I have just started using it and even with other rosins, when I first put it on it does produce a bit of dust or fall out that you see on the violin but I think just give it time to where you have used it not much on your bow and it should be fine as long as you are not over rosining your bow. It also didnt take long to rosin my bow surprisingly even though it was new and wasn't rosined before.

This is an excellent rosin for humid days and yet it can stand up to dryer climates as well. I find the gold flakes do make for a warmer and slightly more focused sound. A step up from many rosins out there

I've been playing the violin quite a while now, I play in groups and occasionally string quartets or ensembles, and I would definitely say a good rosin in important to me. This rosin fits the bill, it gives a high quality sound, lasts, and applies smoothly. I think if I wanted something that would be really professional I'd have to pay more, but especially for the price this is a great rosin that offers a great sound and playing experience. I would buy it again.

I got this for my new Evah Pirastro gold strings, so glad I did. I've been using Jade rosin for the past 13 years and I have been very happy with it. Jade is a stickier rosin. This is a very smooth rosin. I will stick with Jade for lower sounding instruments like my cello but as for my violin, it is Gold Flex all the way! So smooth, so clear, so wonderful! I feel more confident playing out more.
