Frequently Asked Questions
The Sonitone offers a more natural, acoustic tone than some of Fishman's more aggressive systems, prioritizing transparency and warmth over amplified volume.
The 'C' profile is generally considered comfortable, but the 1 11/16” nut width might feel a touch wider for those with very small hands – a test-drive is recommended.
The finish itself doesn’t impact the tone dramatically, but the aging process aims to replicate the character of older instruments, which often have slightly more 'broken-in' resonance.
