Schertler Sa
Since its foundation in the early 1980s, SCHERTLER has embarked on a passionate programme of research that aims to achieve the highest levels of fidelity in the reproduction of acoustic stringed instruments. Led by double bass player Stephan Schertler, the company’s research and development initially focussed on providing a series of high quality alternatives to outdated and imperfect piezoelectric technology. Over the years, Schertler’s original approach to harnessing acoustic vibrations has led to the development of several international patents, including the STAT electrostatic bridge pick-up technology found in the classic range of sensors for bowed instruments. Other developments have included Schertler’s unique “air chamber” technology, an integral feature of the Lydia guitar sensor range. Alongside its comprehensive range of instrument sensors, Schertler has developed a whole series of high-quality, compact acoustic amplification systems. Adaptable to all acoustic instruments and genres, the amplifiers combine pristine sound quality with a wealth of features designed to meet exacting performance requirements as well as high-quality pre-amplifiers and DIs, Today, the Schertler brand is fast becoming a standard for live performance, broadcast and recording applications and we are proud to list some of the world’s leading orchestras, ensembles and solo artists as our ambassadors.

Cully Jazz Festival
Le Cully Jazz Festival a été créé en 1983 par deux amis, Emmanuel Gétaz et Daniel Thentz. D'abord organisé en société simple, les membres du comité d'organisation ont décidé de constituer une association de droit privé en 1997. De 1983 à 1995, les concerts principaux avaient lieu dans la salle Davel, au centre du village de Cully. Un incendie l'ayant détruite en novembre 1995, les organisateurs décidèrent de monter un chapiteau sur la Place d'Armes, au bord du lac. Cette décision a permis de donner un nouvel essor au festival, puisque le lieu des concerts principaux est passé de 400 à 600 puis 950 places assises. La fondation Lavaux-Cully-Jazz a été créée en 1987 dans le but de soutenir le festival et de promouvoir le jazz dans le district de Lavaux. Dès les premières années, les habitants et en particulier les vignerons du bourg de Cully ont ouvert les portes de leur caveau pour y accueillir musiciens et festivaliers. Le festival OFF propose une douzaine de scènes où tout les styles de jazz se rencontrent. Aujourd'hui, le Cully Jazz Festival est une manifestation reconnue pour la qualité de sa programmation et de son accueil. Plus de personnes s'y retrouvent durant 9 jours à la fin mars ou au début avril.

Festival à taille humaine et événement de toutes les rencontres, le Caribana Festival véhicule avant tout un esprit festif où l’on se retrouve entre amis en toute décontraction.

Dolfinos
The future of violin playing: DOLFINOS' complete solution replaces today's chin and shoulder rests for violins and violas with one single device. The patented technology and design stimulate a healthier posture, enable more effortless playing and let the violin vibrate freely. Collaboration of all experts: Luthiers, violin professors, musicians, dermatologists, physiologists, engineers, acoustic experts and designers collaborated intensively to develop the optimal product design. Verification of our design: Studies by the ETH Physiology Lab, EMPA and Zurich University of the Arts successfully validated the safety, effectiveness and usability of the All-in-One Violin Rest System. Ergonomics as a success factor: Optimized leverages lead to more effortless shifting and to more free playing dynamics. Less neck muscle activity is required to control the instrument and thus skin irritation can evidently be reduced. The radically reduced need to press on the chin rest helps preventing neural problems in the neck and tendinitis of shoulders and arms. Benefits- Individually adjustable: the chin rest can be positioned for all neck lengths. The shoulder rest can be custom-fit to a wide variety of physiologies- Liberated sound body: the patented DOLFINOS attachment system does not touch the instrument top nor the ribs- Safe attachment: the DOLFINOS Rest System safely works on violins and violas. It cannot fall off. It preserves the instrument- Reliable holding: our patented shoulder rest coating ensures optimal holding of the instrument on textiles and skin- Fast mounting: mounting and removing of the DOLFINOS Rest System is simple and takes only a few seconds.
