SCHERTLER
 

THE SWISS LEADER IN CONTACT MICROPHONE TECHNOLOGY

Founded in the early 1980s with the goal of perfection in the reproduction of sound of acoustic stringed instruments, SCHERTLER today produces the most innovative and unique transducers available. After nearly twenty years of groundbreaking research and development in an effort to provide alternatives to outdated and imperfect piezo technology, SCHERTLER PRODUCTS are fast becoming the standard for live sound presentation. With products suitable for a wide variety of applications, from individual performers to entire orchestras, SCHERTLER transducers are the new benchmark for amplified acoustic sound.

SCHERTLER’s unique approach to harnessing acoustic vibrations has led to the development of numerous worldwide patents. Designed and manufactured in Switzerland, SCHERTLER products are gaining distribution throughout the world. In the United States, Gibson Guitars, C.F. Martin Guitars, and Santa Cruz Guitar Company now offer SCHERTLER’s BLUESTiCK under-saddle condenser microphone acoustic guitar pickup as original equipment in some of their world-class instruments.

STRINGS

Part of the Schertler Group is the Velvetstrings SA - Switzerland. In this company, managed by Stephan Schertler, we conceive the strings as an integral part of the musical instrument.

At velvetŪ our attention is focused on the instrument as a whole, its function and history.

Our work involves both respect for tradition and openness to innovation, handcraft and contemporary computer-aided string design in a quest for the most beautiful, most expressive sound of all. For additional information on Velvet Strings, please visit www.velvetstrings.com

 

 
       
 
“Frankly, after years of trial and error and numerous improvements,
I can say that, if an instrument is made of wood and has strings,
I can guarantee it is possible to reproduce its authentic sound.”
