116 Years of Musical Heritage
Cream Music has everything musicians are looking for
For 116 years, Cream Music has been a go-to destination in Frankfurt for instruments and music equipment. Heinrich and Babette Hummel founded Musikhaus Hummel in 1904, and the family successfully navigated the company through the Weimar Republic, economic crisis, and two world wars. Since 1978, the business has expanded to include its own recording studio and percussion center. Today, the fourth generation runs this family-owned enterprise, with the fifth already stepping up. The team is rounded out by an instrument maker and graduate engineer, ensuring comprehensive solutions for everything from instruments to amplifiers. As part of their full-service approach, they also help musicians connect with qualified instructors. After 114 years in Frankfurt's historic railway district, Cream Music relocated to Frankfurt-Sachsenhausen in 2018.
