I received this resin in the mail a couple weeks ago I wanted to actually have a chance to use it before I reviewed. First of all it came in a very nice package. The cloth that comes with it is soft. It Glides nicely along the strings of the bow and does not leave tons of residue. I purchased this for my middle school daughter who is just a beginner and it's perfect for her but my high school daughter who is a very skilled violinist also said that it's a nice resin and she would use it in the future.
