It is the same formula as the larger 1V, made to one of Francis Hider's historic recipes in England, hand-mixed and hand-poured. Its harder, lighter make-up gives good traction on the string without loading the bow with dust, which is why teachers keep recommending it and why professionals keep using it long after they could afford something else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"ab-section\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ab-eyebrow\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"ab-h2\"\u003eAt a glance.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"ab-table\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpec\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHidersine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLight (amber) \/ Hard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrip Profile Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGPR 4 (1 low grip, 10 high grip)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCake size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMedium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20g (approx)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInstrument\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eViolin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstituents\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColophony, natural waxes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMade in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEngland\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManufacture\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand-mixed, hand-poured\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"ab-section\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ab-eyebrow\"\u003eSound profile\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"ab-h2\"\u003eBright, with a clear attack.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ab-body\"\u003eThe 3V speaks quickly and cleanly at the start of the note. At GPR 4 it sits in the middle of the grip scale: enough purchase for a confident sound, light enough that the bow stays easy to move.
