Tradition and Continuity

HORA S.A. is the largest and oldest musical instrument company in Romania, with a tradition of more than 70 years. Established in 1951 by master Roman Boianciuc, as a workshop, it produced just 37 violins in its first year of operation. A year later, its production increased to 435 violins and has continued to rise with the demand for new stringed instruments built from coveted local tonewood. By the late 1950s, HORA produced guitars and mandolins as well as traditional instruments from different countries. In the 1960s, the company began its shift from workshop production to large-scale manufacturing.
