Oscar Schmidt Company was founded in 1871 and incorporated in 1911. By the
early 1900s, the company had five factories in Europe and a factory on Ferry
Street in Jersey City. They made all kinds of stringed instruments, guitars,
banjos, mandolins, ukuleles, zithers, and Autoharps. The company prospered
through the early 1920s. Oscar Schmidt instruments were sold in many rural
parts of the country where no music stores existed. Salesmen distributed the
products far and wide, making them available in general, small town furniture
and dry goods stores. Country guitar pickers and blues musicians living in
areas of the South and in Appalachia, far from the city, frequently played
Oscar Schmidt instruments because they were both inexpensive and available
locally. But equally important, they were often chosen solely on merits of
their superior tone and volume. Today at Oscar Schmidt, premium woods, quality
hardware and modest prices create an ideal instrument. Each is inspected and
adjusted in the USA by a skilled technician, your assurance for smooth fret
ends, precision low action and resonant sound quality. Unequalled standards in
easy playing comfort and tone response creates the perfect value… Oscar
Schmidt.
