Nirona was a German company that, during the 1920s, specialized in producing suitcase-style phonographs and other small devices. Based in Nuremberg, its name derived from the combination of "Nürnberg" and "Orgel" (organ), reflecting its focus on music-related manufacturing.

The company gained fame for its compact mechanical phonographs, celebrated for their simplicity, portability, and affordability. These devices did not require electricity, making them ideal for travel or households without electrification.

In addition to phonographs, Nirona also manufactured sewing machines, lanterns, and other small products. Thanks to their widespread availability, many pieces have survived and serve as cherished collectibles—a nostalgic reminder of an era when music became accessible to the general public.
