By Carmella Watts


Schertler is a company, founded in the early 1980s, that manufactures pickups for string instruments. They also produce guitars, tuners, and amplifiers. The company is located in Switzerland. A pickup is a type of microphone that is placed on a guitar or other musical instrument to amplify the sound of the instrument. This company has instigated great strides in musical instrument amplification technology.

The audio effect of an electric guitar is produced with a magnetic coil pickup. This pickup is essentially a microphone built-in underneath the guitar strings to boost the volume. Rock and country guitar styles often have the guitar played with distortion and other audio modifications. Many guitarists who play rock, metal, punk and country styles use effect pedals and other devices to get different sounds. Anyone who listens to popular music on the radio will recognize these common guitar effects.

Often a folk guitar, which is often called an acoustic guitar to distinguish it from an electric guitar, needs to be louder so that the audience can hear it. A different type of pickup will be manually attached to the guitar for this purpose. Traditionally, this type of pickup uses a piezoelectric or crystal transducer to increase the loudness of the instrument.

The founder of the company is a musician who plays the double bass. They have made a big investment in developing an innovative new way to amplify acoustic string instruments. The company holds several patents. One patent is for amplifying the sound of bowed string instruments. Another patent uses air chamber technology.

He was determined to create the technology to produce those high quality musical sounds. The company hold patents on a technology that replaces the piezoelectric transducer to amplify string instruments. They also hold patents in air chamber technology. Folk, classical and jazz musician in particular seeks a purity of sound that preserve the natural beauty of the instrument, without distortion or effect. The company's products achieve this goal. Even in the most difficult concert halls and rooms, the entire audience can hear the most subtle sounds from the instruments.

The company has made advances in wireless technology for amplifying sounds without cumbersome cables and wires. Wireless uses transmitters to send the audio signals instead of wires or cables. They have recently partnered with a guitar manufacturer to produce a line of acoustic guitars. Their product line includes accessories, direct boxes, amplifiers, and much more.
