Encyclopedia : J : JZ : JZS : József Schunda
József Schunda (1818–1894) and Vencel József Schunda (1845–1923) were brothers and Hungarian musical instrument makers.
József Schunda started a workshop in Pest in 1848, and his brother joined him as an apprentice in 1856, advancing to become a partner, and later the owner of the factory. The workshop produced the first pedaled Hungarian Concert Cimbalom in 1874 and also redesigned a modern Tárogató, a clarinet-like instrument specific to Hungary. The workshop was closed in World War II.
