HFN Sound Page

 


      If you take a moment or two and bounce back and forth between the pickup samples and the studio mic sample you'll see what we mean when compare the sound of the HFN Artist to the sound of a studio mic.....it's pretty darn close.
     The sound bites provided for steel string guitars all come from an independent source: guitarist Doug Young www.dougyoungguitar.com We'd like to thank Doug for helping to beta test the HFN Steel String and for taking the time to record these samples.
