Before choosing rosin, you'll want to consider a few things, including your current skill level and what kind of tone you hope to achieve with your instrument. Student-grade rosin is the most affordable and usually has a gritty sound that many fiddlers favor. However, classical violinists and violists prefer professional-grade rosin for its smooth, controlled sound. You'll also need to decide between light and dark rosin. While dark rosin is great for lower stringed instruments like the cello, lighter (amber) rosin is a better fit for violins and violas.
For an affordable rosin that boasts a high rating, check out the Super Sensitive Violin/Viola Rosin.

Another popular choice is the Jade Violin Viola Cello Rosin. Made in France, this rosin creates a firm yet smooth grip and is ideal for symphony musicians and concert artists alike. While you're at it, check out the Andrea Rosin Symphony Violin Rosin.

Whatever you choose, keep in mind that you need to tighten your bow first before applying any rosin. Also, make sure that the frog end and the tip of your bow has more rosin than its middle. 5 to 10 strokes of rosin across your bow should be more than enough, but how much rosin you apply is really a matter of personal preference. So without hesitating any further, browse away! The violin/viola general purpose rosin for you is definitely waiting in this catalog.
