Pros: easy to apply - no need to score the surface. very little dust. grips the string without scratchy or rasping noises. excellent choice!
Cons: The cost - but well worth it considering how long it will last
Other: Bought this rosin as it was recommended buy a respected luthier. have tried several other rosins of varying price - this one definitely the best. Well-packaged too- easy to open and use- no fiddly bits of cloth!

Pros: It is comfortable to use. I used to have a rosin that was on a cloth and it came apart later which I had to grab the rosin to use - and it made my fingers sticky after. Also, my bow articulation got clearer. amazing how rosins can change the sound.
Cons: nothing yet

Pros: maintained pitch after two days - great tone really suit my 1930 violin
Cons: Didn't like the gold plated E string that I got with the last set. Got whistling sound from it. The steeel string i got with this set is not a problem.

Pros: The resin does what the reviews I read said it does; that is, it imparts a marvellous clear and brilliant quality to my violin. Fortunately my instrument is sweet sounding so it does not become harsh. I can use less pressure on the bow to achieve good penetration and keep the tone sweet. I need to apply resin slightly more often than before as the bow begins slipping sooner and the sound becomes slightly gritty after a while. I don't know how it would be with an already brilliant sounding instrument.
Cons: Nothing but please note above points. These are only circumspection however.

Pros: Great grip and tone. Really transforms the sound.
Cons: None
Other: I tried this after reading the rosin recommendations on the Warchal strings website. Their two top recommendations were Andrea Solo and Vienna's Best. Their tests were done by violinists, but having tried both of these, I can confirm that their appraisals stands true for cellists too. They are both superb, offering terrific grip of the string and wonderful but different sounds. Andrea Solo has more brilliance, perfect for concertos and recitals with a grand piano where you need to cut through to be heard clearly. Vienna's Best is warmer and mellower, great for solo Bach, string quartets and the recording studio, not to mention practicing and performing in a small room. I would not be without either. Incidentally, using these wonderful rosins prompted me to reconsider my string choices for my lower strings, notably as regards the Magnacore Arioso C string, which I previously discarded as lacking strength and bite, but now my number one choice of C strings!

Pros: Clear sound. Need to apply less often. Perfect grip without stickiness. Great for all articulation.
Cons: Possibly a tiny bit too present for quieter orchestral playing, but I did buy the solo rather than orchestral.

Pros: Its in a neat little plastic container, it is not as dusty as some rosins, you do not need much applied, but more applications. Yhe mini cake is larger than I expected, it is not deep but will ,adt a good long time.
Cons: It has to be reapplied more often than say Pirastro Gold , I thought it made my fiddling sound too harsh/bright compared to the Pirastro on my Evah Pirazzi strings , mix of gold and originals. I had expected a mellow tone, maybe I should have tried orchestra rather than solo?
Other: It is pretty expensive, having read other reviews I think I expected a better product/sound. I shall try it in different situations however but will use the Pirastro Gold more often as it suits my bow and strings better.
