Hidersine: All Weather Double Bass Rosin
Hidersine: Grade Two Double Bass Rosin | I used to use the grade 2 to cut Pops. A little Pops, a little Hidersine #2. It can be used by itself but it is pretty hard stuff. The "All weather" was "no weather" for me. I'm still trying to find a violinist who'll take it. Maybe that cello player ....
Best to me is Gaston Brohan's Oak Rosin. Similar to Carlsson in tone, but somewhat less powder and more grab on the lowest notes.

| | | | I'm using Hidersine All-Weather right now. It's actually the only rosin I've ever had. What's the difference between Hidersine and Carlsson or Pop's? |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: May 2006 Location: Melbourne Australia | | | I have a question about Hidersine as well i just got some number 1 for cold weather i believe, since its winter here right now thats probably fine, but its very hard? so not sure if any is getting on the bow or not?
Sorry newbie to bowing by the way, I got this rosin for nothing cos thats all the luthier had but i know another one who i'm sure would have a larger choice.
So how hard or soft should it be?

I was using a 20/60/20 mix of soft/medium/hard for a while before it got so damn hot (after which I had to stop using the soft) which worked great.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: the end of the section | | | For some reason I had a cake of Hindersine (All-weather, I think) some years ago, and yes, it seemed to be just like cello rosin. Hard and powdery; not much use on a bass bow. At least for usual techniques, I guess some guys like that type of rosin. Personally I like Carlson most of the year and Nyman's in hot weather, because it seems to not melt so easily and get overly sticky. |

| | | | I started playing with Hindershire all-weather, and didn't know what I was missing until I got a cake of Pops.
It is possibly the worst bass rosin on the planet, in my experience. I just bought some Carlsson and my past experience with that has been great, so I'll vouch for that. Hindershire to me is like fragments of the least sticky glass in a shiny cake. |  | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
