The company with the golden touch.

Founded in 1920 in Markneukirchen/Vogtland still under the name "Maxima", OPTIMA developed into one of the best-known and best-selling string brands in Germany.

Highest quality strings for all instruments, any kind of special production and all that in 100% handwork, Made In Germany.

In addition to the outstanding products made of classic materials, it was a very special innovation that made the traditional German brand world famous: the 24K GOLD STRINGS.


International stars of the music and guitar scene, such as Frank Zappa, John Entwhistle, the Ramones, Earl Slick, Randy Hansen, Randy Bachmann and of course Brian May, made the fine strings an integral part of their sound.


This high-end quality, whether with gold or without, is offered by the OPTIMA brand for all areas of stringed instruments as well as for all modern plucked instruments, from classical to acoustic and electric guitars.


In addition, Optima offers a comprehensive range of strings for traditional instruments such as zither, dulcimer or Tyrolean folk harp under the brand name BERGFEE.

No matter for which instrument, OPTIMA is the optimal string.
