Sorcha,
How do you tell when it's time to clean? I'm not sure how to identify rosin-free hair. Also, do you know why it's hard to re-rosin after washing? I think my cello bow is fine right now but the more it goes out in public... Would a reasonably organic cleanser like Heavenly Horsetail be too strong?

Mbo,
I'm one of those who believes that you don't give beginners junk to use just because they're beginners, any more than I'd give someone handicapped a lousy wheelchair. Just a leftover attitude from how I was raised that I decided to keep.
