    How does rosin affect a bow's performance?

    Why do you need rosin on a violin?
    You need rosin on the horsehairs of your bow in order to grip the strings as you move the bow in order to make a sound. Without bows, violins would just be plucked. But without rosin, your bow would just be skating across the strings with very little or no sound coming out. No rosin = No sound.
