The Hohner company was founded in 1857 in Germany by the watchmaker Matthias Hohner. Harmonicas became the first product of the company. At first, they were developed only by hand. With the help of his family and hired workers, Matthias Honner was able to produce up to 650 instruments a year, after some time, he developed and set up their mass production. Hohner harmonicas are still considered among the best in the world. Later, accordions went into production, and later guitars, bass guitars, and melodics.
