| notes: The Name Migma stands for Musikinstrumenten-Handwerker-Genossenschaft
Markneukirchen.
It was not a single factory but a union of Luthiers in and around
Marktneukirchen. Manufacturing of guitars was situated here since the
18th century. The town archive of Marktneukirchen knows about 83
luthiers in 1908, 25 years later there were already 190 of them. After
WWII Migma was forced to work for the russian army according to the
Reparation Agreement and due to the fact that they were not payed,
material and quality of the instruments went from bad to worse. |
