Do electric violens need rosin.Any rosins you have tried and been successful with if you have allergies or asthma. Thank you to all.
All violins require some sort of rosin on the bow to make sound. Electric violins do not differ from acoustic violins in this regard.
You might explore "Clarity" rosin, which is sold here:

You did not say how extreme your your father's allergy was. Minimizing the exposure might help, or it may make no difference, perhaps trying the following:
1) Don't apply any more rosin to the bow than is necessary, and "flick" though the hair away from the face, to remove excess before he plays.
2) Wipe down the strings, top of the instrument, and bow stick with a soft cloth to remove all the rosin dust after each time he plays.
3) Make sure that your father does not handle the rosin except with a cloth or the felt wrapping.
