Guitar Story
In 2025, BandLab Technologies controlled the Harmony name under Caldecott Music Group. Its 3 lines on record were built at Westheimer reissue builder (unverified), Harmony import line builder (disputed origin; China per blog) and Kalamazoo 225 Parsons St (1917 Gibson building) (China and USA).[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
A Harmony guitar from 2025 belongs to whichever era was running on its product line that year. An era is a stretch when the company that controlled the name and the plant that built the line both stayed the same. If you know the line, the table below tells you which version of Harmony you have. The name dates from 1892[8], 133 years before.
| Line | Controlled by | Parent | Built at | Era | Grade |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Harmony Standard Series (import) | BandLab Technologies | Caldecott Music Group | Harmony import line builder (disputed origin; China per blog) Chinano source | 2021–now | community[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7] |
| Harmony USA (BandLab/Vista) | BandLab Technologies | Caldecott Music Group | Kalamazoo 225 Parsons St (1917 Gibson building) Kalamazoo, MI, USA[9] | 2021–now | community[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8] |
| Harmony Westheimer reissues | BandLab Technologies | Caldecott Music Group | Westheimer reissue builder (unverified) Unknownno source | 2021–now | unverified[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8] |
Nothing changed in 2025. Every era running that year carried on from an earlier year, so a Harmony from 2025 is the same version as one from 2024.
