Musikhaus Thomann is a family business and was founded in 1954 in Treppendorf, Bavaria, by Hans Thomann senior. In 1954, Hans Thomann gave up his profession as an itinerant musician and set up his own music store. In the 1970s, the music business began to grow, with the result that an increasing number of living rooms on the family farm were converted into showrooms. In 2024, Thomann supplies customers in 120 countries. Around 6.4 million customer orders are processed every year. With its online store for music supplies like musical instruments, studio, lighting, and pro-audio equipment, Thomann is the music retailer with the largest sales worldwide with a total turnover of around 1.1 billion euros.
