Musser is a distinguished name in mallet percussion whose roots date back to the brand’s founding in Chicago in 1948 by visionary percussionist and designer Clair Omar Musser. Guided by decades of acoustic insight and inventive instrument design, Musser helped redefine how keyboard percussion instruments are built and played, shaping the development of marimbas, vibraphones, xylophones, chimes, and bells with thoughtful engineering and refined tonal balance. Today part of the Ludwig‑Musser family within the Conn‑Selmer lineup, the Musser collection continues its tradition of meticulous craftsmanship, dependable performance, and musical versatility that educators, professional percussionists, and advancing students trust in concert, educational, and ensemble settings.
