It was on tour that it all started...
Having spent five years on practically every stage in the world, as the Stage Manager for the Percussions de Strasbourg, Claude Walter started to make flight-cases to satisfy the industry's growing needs. Rythmes & Sons (rythm and sound) began in 1981 from the experiences and the desire to solve the problems experienced on tour.
30 years of innovation
Since the beginning, we have been driven by a passion for our business. So, for every one of our candles we have celebrated advancement : expanding our line, the launching of a product, or the creation of a new service.
