Ken's description, "I always and only make down strokes from Frog to Tip and not back and forth like you might with the 'powdery type' Violin or Cello Rosins" validates something I wondered about.
I noticed our principal bassist applying his rosin in exactly the manner Ken described. I started doing this with various brands and have found much success with Carlsson and Pirastro (medium). This technique seems to give me a nice, even grab. Is there a specific reason for applying it in the "frog to tip" direction?
