Founded in 1826 by Julius Ferdinand Georg Schuberth (1804-1875) in Hamburg. Branch offices were opened in Leipzig (1832) and New York (1850).

The New York branch was re-named Edward Schuberth & Co. sometime around 1875 and started issuing its own publications. The Smithsonian's collections contain nearly eight thousand musical instruments. Sixty-five per cent of these, representing the Western classical music tradition and the popular music that grew out of it, are held by the National Museum of American History, home to the Smithsonian Chamber Music Society. The Smithsonian's collection of musical instruments was officially recognized in 1879 when Dr. G. Brown Goode, one of the Institution's Assistant Secretaries, systematically reorganized all the Smithsonian's holdings. In 1914, the Washington piano dealer Hugo Worch contributed the first of what would eventually amount to a collection of about two hundred keyboard instruments and a large repository of photographs dealing with the history of the construction of keyboard instruments. Worch held the title of Honorary Custodian of Musical Instruments from about 1921 until his death in 1938.
