The makers web site describes it as "ultra soft". It's hard to tell I'm looking at the right one though because it says "double bass" on the Jade with a Green Cap. The can does list Violin - Viola - Cello, Cello tells me it's gonna be on the softer darker side. Being green, does it excell on the Irish tunes, or work better for redheads?
I cant imagine dealing with humidy as a playing issue. Its good to know I guess if I ever venture out of the safety of my house. If you have heating or AC going all the time you may not have a humidity problem indoors, but around here when heat or AC is not needed, you're normally looking at high humidity indoors. What difference does it really make what color it is?
It either works or it doesn't. I have a half dozen violins, and I suspect there's a different kind of rosin in each case, from different experiments.
I've never felt the need to change seasonally, but maybe I don't get out into the sloughs enough. Next time I'm going back to Hidersine, to put in my new case. It'll look great! Rosin just doesn't make all that much difference in playing a fiddle, IME.
The performance from the bow just isn't that critical. A player with clean strings, relatively clean bow hair, and decent rosin should be able to easily adapt to just about any climatic conditions. Sure, any rosin will grip differently in hot, wet weather than it does in cold, dry weather, but you just adapt your bowing a little. That's all it usually takes; you are not doing any demanding techniques.
Even though sixteenth notes at BPM may seem really fast does to me! People can do whatever they prefer for their own convenience, but if you think you NEED a particular rosin to play well, or NEED a different rosin from one season to the next, and are not a highly trained and experienced classical player, I suspect that what you really need to do is to work on your bow technique.
Many of our working pro customers, both classical players and fiddlers, prefer Jade. We sell a few of each of a lot of other brands, but nothing else really stands out as a favorite for long, although fashions and fads do come and go.
My luthier said it's typically used by cellists and bassists. Don't know if that tells you it's hardness or not. I use it year round and like it. Of course we don't get huge humidity swings here in Western Oregon. Best for redheads playing Irish tunes. But only if they are "natural" redheads. Other wise, their hair coloring will turn green. In Seattle it's wet 9 months of the year and my little house never really dries out. I have always used the same cake of rosin and it is 9 years old now with plenty left.
I tried jade and did t like it at all. I don't believe in needing a certain rosin for weather. I use a light Millant-Deroux all these years and it's all I need. Cheap, easy to find.
Those that say they didn't like Jade I suspect tried it when the humidity was on the higher side. I don't like it either when humidity is higher. A lighter rosin works fine year round. But I like the deep sound you get on low strings with a darker Rosin, so I'll use it when I can. Some folks can use a dark rosin in any weather condition, cool that's great.
It throws me off. I guess I don't get it. I've played all my life and never been bothered by too much dust and humidity and all. My fiddle sounds great on all the strings with one rosin. This includes living and playing in Oklahoma, California mountains, fiddle contests in 12 states and for 25 years in Seattle here. I don't like dark sticky rosin, it is messy. I get all the bite I need by how I bow. Reminds me of the forever guitar pick arguments.
The best guitar player I know, best all around musician, uses a common 25 cent nylon pick. You will have to purchase your own return shipping and send us the tracking details for our records.
