The Schille Principle is our Magna Carta. It is based on values and philosophies that together create our added value. The Schille Principle is about a company that knows size isn’t everything. In public life because we not only decline subsidies. We even challenge them out of principle. In society as a whole because – despite our exclusive products – social acceptance is paramount for us. On the business base issue, because we are committed to Belgium and are a constant reminder to others that one can succeed here too.
Incidentally, the Schille Principle is a matter of our own standards.
Faith in our own virtues. We have very definite ideas on how we develop and produce our clarinets. Inaddition to maximum costeffectiveness, they must comply with the high demands we make. What counts here are quality. And, naturally, fascination. All this is important. So important that we integrate our suppliers in the development process from the very first new clarinet concept, and demand a lot of them. Because we also demand a lot of ourselves. And believe in partnership. The Schille Principle is also about responsibility. To the customer, and to our own heritage. We never forget our origins. And they are rooted in clarinet playing. We concentrate on what we do best: building handmade clarinets. And a few other things. As mentioned, we are a small company. The Schille Principle is also the David Principle. We are not intimidated by the Goliaths in the industry. We are independent.
