It follows one of Francis Hider's historic recipes, still hand-mixed and hand-poured. The result sits at Grip Profile Rating 6 on Hidersine's own ten-point scale, so there is plenty of purchase on the string, but the softer body means the bow can still shape a phrase rather than simply dig into it.\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\u003e6V Deluxe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDark \/ Soft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrip Profile Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGPR 6 (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\u003eLarge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30g (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\"\u003eRich and articulate.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ab-body\"\u003eThe 6V gives a warm, well-fed tone with a clean attack at the start of the note. Its balance point is grip against subtlety: enough traction for a firm sound in the lower strings, enough give for detail in fast passagework. It suits players from around Grade 6 upward, and works particularly well in temperate to cooler conditions, where lighter rosins can leave the bow feeling as though it is sliding across the string.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"ab-section\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ab-eyebrow\"\u003eHow to use\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"ab-h2\"\u003eGetting the most from it.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ab-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply with slow, even strokes along the full length of the bow hair before playing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDark rosin transfers readily.

The 6V sits at 6, which is firm without being at the extreme end.
