Matth. Hohner AG

HOHNER's history is inseparably bound up with the company's location in Trossingen.
Trossingen is not just the headquarters of the HOHNER Group, but also home to a number
of highly regarded musical institutions:
Since 1931 the HOHNER Conservatory has set the educational standard for accordion and
classical harmonica. The German Harmonica Museum, founded in 1991, has established
itself as the leading historical institution for reed instruments worldwide.

„Enjoy Music – Play HOHNER!“
Music is one of the most fundamental forms of human
expression. For over 150 years it has been HOHnER's
declared mission to bring the joy of music making to
people all over the world, to provide them with the best
possible instruments so that they can discover their own
musical creativity and experience the emotional and
communicative power of music for themselves.
To fulfill these aspirations, HOHnER not only works
closely with well-known artists, but also with hobbyists,
amateurs, and teachers. Whether in management, the
R&D department or in production, numerous HOHnER
staff members are enthusiastic musicians themselves
and are also closely aware of market developments. This
ensures that our instruments are always attuned to the
current needs of the player.
Today our assortment ranges from harmonicas and
accordions to melodicas, recorders, guitars and ukuleles
as well as children's instruments. At the company
headquarters in Trossingen with 180 employees,
state-of-the-art precision tools, constantly optimized
production methods and finest craftsmanship come
together to create top quality musical instruments which
are sold in over 85 countries.
For decades, HOHnER has been the worldwide market
leader in the area of harmonicas and accordions and
regularly sets new standards for quality and innovation
in these fields. With lAnIKAI and KOHAlA, HOHnER
has also recently developed two of the most successful
ukulele brands in the world. This position is not merely
a consequence of technological advantage, but is
primarily a result of closeness to our customers, focused
marketing and a real passion for music.
