Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is a violin made of?
A violin has a soft top, usually spruce or pine wood, while the back is made of some harder wood like maple.

How often should I rosin my bow?
Evey time you sit down to play, make it a habit to rosin your bow first. A good rule of thumb is to re-apply the rosin once for every hour that you play.
