I study, perform and teach Erhu performance. Erhu is a two-string bowing instrument which is well-known in Chinese community especially in China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. I currently study Erhu Performance at Shanghai Conservatory of Music in Shanghai.

The Best Rosin for Erhu
In my opinion, the best rosin for erhu is Pirastro's Schwarz Rosin. It's black, as shown in the picture below.
Why do I say so? Well, it's based on my experience of using different types of rosins on Erhu.
The Pirastro's rosins I've used on erhu before were the Eudoxa, Gold and Gold Flex. None of them were very suitable for Erhu steel strings if compared to the Schwarz. Furthermore, they are more expensive.
I don't want to describe technically how good it is, but at least to tell you that Schwarz rosin is specially made for steel strings, and I just feel comfortable and easy to control.
Cheers~
