HFN-S2 PICKUP FOR GRANDE BOUCHE SELMER/MACCAFERRI STYLE GUITARS By Schatten of Canada Studio Microphone Quality Sound "The sound of this new guitar pickup is as close to that of a good quality mic as you've ever heard from a guitar pickup......" The HFN-S2 models give you a sound that is much more realistic and acoustic than any pickup on a Selmer that you have ever heard before. More realism in attack, more realism in overall response, these pickups actually allow your instrument to sound just as good plugged in as it does unplugged. The only thing missing from the HFN-S2 in a Selmer is the piezo 'quack' that every one has come to expect and accept in acoustic pickups. Along with being simple to install, the HFN-S2 has excellent feedback rejection and perfect string to string balance. The HFN-S2 series of pickups utilizes an elegant combination of wonderful materials: rosewood for its main structure and arching with a light weight brass shell for its noise shielded piezo unit. Total weight of the pickup is a very light 0.3 ounces (9 grams). It will not affect the acoustic sound of the instrument when not in use. Installation is quick and easy. No bridges need be replaced. The only modification required is a hole for the output jack, either in the rim or tailblock. For "Petite Bouche" models an installation kit is supplied, please see additional listing for petite bouche model with instal tool kit. The Shatten HFN-S2 is compatible with virtually all Selmer style instruments. Installation is easy and quick (even with petite bouche models). See the cutaway picture of a Selmer soundboard to show the placement of the HFN-S2 pickup. The pickup mounts on the two large transverse braces that form the main structure of the bridge box. The pickup is held securely in place with our special mounting putty. This mounting is quick and very secure. The pickup may be removed easily however, at any time should you want to move it to a different instrument. The HFN-S2 will fit virtually all Selmer style instruments with 'normal' Selmer style bracing. The HFN-S2 is not suitable for Favino style instruments or the new Aria MM series. The Schatten advantage: Stunning sound quality, approaching that of a good studio microphone Quick, easy installation, even with "small bouche" models No modification required apart from a hole for the endpin jack Does not alter acoustic response Perfect string-to-string balance Excellent feedback rejection characteristics Completely eliminates harsh piezo overtones and "quack" Full installation instructions supplied Each pickup is individually handmade and tested 2 year warranty to original purchaser. The HFN-S2 is a passive pickup which will produce good results into most electric or acoustic guitar amplifiers normal amp. Due to design factors inherent in P.A. mixers and boards (and these vary considerably), if you are running straight into a P.A., then a P reamp / DI will most likely be necessary to boost line signal strength and lower the impedance so that the mixer receives a proper signal. The pickup will operate with any preamplifier designed for piezo pickups. We have Schatten Artist series endpin preamps available from stock. PLEASE NOTE: This pickup can be fitted quicly and easily, without the need for special tools, on any model with the larger "D" soundhole. If you have a "Petite Bouche" model with a small oval sound hole please see additional listing for pickup + installation toolkit read more
