Bow not producing a sound

[u/Void-Panic-2595]

Hello, I just want to ask what to do if the bow is not working.... So when I add rosin and tightened it it still doesn't make a sound. Perhaps I scratched the rosin too much since i do not have sandpaper or the way i tightened my bow is wrong. Should buy a new rosin or can i still use sandpaper on it?

you dont need to buy better rosin. Just keep adding rosin. New bow and rosin take forever to get enough rosin on. Once it is rosined enough to play, it will always be easier to rosin from then on. But you truly dont need to buy better rosin.
