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 quack that everyone has come to expect and accept in acoustic pickups. Along with being simple to install, the HFN-S2s have excellent feedback rejection and good string to string balance. As well, there is nothing artificial about the sound of the HFN-S2s and the usual sound from the typical Selmer bridge pickup is replaced with the actual acoustic sound of the instrument. Design 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 easy and quite straight forward. No bridges need be replaced and there are no changes to the playability of the instrument. All HFN-S2 models come prewired and ready to install. Schatten has redesigned their S series of Selmer pickups to make them compatible with virtually all Selmer style instruments. While they were at it, they made the installation of the pickup easier and quicker (even in the petite bouche). Theyve utilized this cutaway of a Selmer soundboard to show the placement of the new 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.
