German instrument manufacturer located in Markneukirchen.
In 1945 the various instrument manufacturers in the Russian controlled zone of Germany (later to become DDR) was merged into two large companies, Musima and Migma. Musima was to focus on factory-made instruments for the mass market while Migma was an "umbrella label" for individual instrument makers.
Although never too well-known or prestigious, Musima was probably the largest instrument manufacturer of the world right from the company's foundation until the Asian manufacturers began taking ober the mass market in the late 1970s, building all kinds of instruments at all price and quality levels. Most of the instruments were sold without a brand name or with the different distributors' brand names though, which may explain why the company is relatively unknown to most people.
