Majestic Holland b.v. originates from family firm "Van der Glas b.v." (founded in 1921 !)
The family firm of VAN DER GLAS B.V. was founded in 1921 by Willem Klazes van der Glas, the grandfather of the present proprietor, Wim van der Glas. The fledgling company, which at that time had premises in the old city centre of Heerenveen, the Netherlands, only sold organs, pianos and wind instruments, but the production of percussion instruments soon followed. In the
1960's the 'MAJESTIC' brand name was introduced for these percussion instruments. At that time drum sets were particularly popular, and many
rock bands in the Netherlands and other countries used them. Even then the production of percussion instruments for orchestras and marching bands was the most important part of the company's activities.
Over the last thirty years MAJESTIC has continued to specialize in this area with the result that MAJESTIC percussion instruments are now being played with great enthusiasm in all corners of the world.
Since 2003 a new company has been established for the Majestic division called "Majestic Holland b.v.".
This company is situated in a new large factory in Nijehaske (near Heerenveen/NL) and is owned by one of the largest music groups in the world, which ensures expanding manufacturing and sales of Majestic products all over the world!!
