Harmony was one of the most successful guitar makers in the USA, manufacturing most all of their guitars in Chicago during the peak rock n roll boom years in the 50's and 60's. They made many types of stringed instruments, including ukuleles, acoustic and electric guitars, and violins which were sold through the Sears / Roebuck company.
