I'm using Pops Rosin now in the Red container.. I will Check on those Upton Bows. The Bow I have now is a Glasser. Not sure if it is just mine, but the area where the frog hair attaches is ever so slightly warped, and makes it kind of hard to get the hair to go perfectly straight across the strings..
Hi, Charlie: I am honored to be your friend. Do you know a better quality of bow that is above beginner quality (I have one of those already :)that is a good value?
