Tone & Acoustic Character
Dense center hammering produces a rich timbre with distinctive overtones that record clearly across microphone placement and mixing chains. The multi-surfaced center-hammered area generates a single, cohesive sound with depth and sustain that translates well to both close-mic and room-mic recording techniques.
Design & Build
