What rosin

I use Nymans. I've had Pops, which I found ok, but the thing I liked most about the Pops I had was that it was really liquid at room temperature. It looks solid, but will actually flow over a period of several hours, if, for example, you leave the tub upside down in your bag.

Bizarre!

Another vote for Pops from me, I really like it, but to be fair I haven't tried many, and I'm really lacking in the arco department! But I always find it does the trick, and not having to wait for days for it to warm up is a bonus! Like Endorka says though, you do have to be careful because it will try to escape!

I've got some Petz (no2) which comes in different hardnesses (hence the numbers) which is sticky enough on spirocores. I usually go for a softer rosin on cello (main instrument) with kolstein and Kaplan being a couple of my favourites.
I usually find that pretty much anything is better than the usual Hidersine.

Pops has worked for me too.

I'm no expert, but I think the important factor was "fresh" - as opposed to crusty and rock-solid which is what I had for ages before investing in a new tubs of Pops last year.

BTW - people talk about Pops being liquid, but I think this is only an issue in hotter countries.

It's got several different hardnesses
