See you on the slopes.

What about the hair... is there bass horse hair and viola horse hair?
Maybe bass strings are thicker so as the instruments get bigger the hair/rosin get stickier?

No reason to get offended at all, and in that light, it was very humorous what was said by the offended posters.
Life should be an episode of Seseme street, not "All my children".

| | | | why downbows when applying rosin
Well, the rosin has to be 'melted' on to the string. You need to build up friction. Bass rosin isn't powdery like violin/viola/cello/ski rosin. Quick, whole-bow downbow strokes melt it on evenly. |
