Evolution® Honey Nylon

Product Details

Nylon strings are known for their warm, pure tone in contrast to the typically bright, metallic sustain of steel strings. While steel strings excel at delivering a crisp and punchy sound, few things rival the mellow, lyrical quality of their nylon counterparts.

Evolution Honey Nylon captures the sound of an authentic Spanish-made classical guitar, recorded entirely fingerstyle to preserve its natural, organic character. Every subtle nuance is faithfully recreated, including the sound of fingertips brushing against the string just before plucking the note. Thanks to the generous amount of preroll included in the samples, these often-overlooked details can be reintroduced to bring your performance to life.

In comparison, Evolution Modern Nylon offers a more produced, contemporary sound. Beyond differences in how the instrument was recorded and mixed, it features a hybrid of picked and fingerstyle playing–a technique some guitarists use, picking the low strings for greater clarity while incorporating their fingers on the high strings for their delicate quality.

Evolution Honey Nylon focuses solely on fingerstyle playing, providing a rich, elegant sound that pairs perfectly with the Spanish guitar we selected for the project.

Whether you’re scoring Latin, Jazz, or simply adding a Spanish flair to your music, Evolution Honey Nylon’s illustrious sound is certain to sweeten your compositions.
