Tremaine, the firm sold pianos, and possibly reed organs, in New York City, New York in the late 1800s. Groce gives the dates as 1869-1872, with no record in 1873-1874. William Tremaine was selling organs in 1875-1876, although it is not recorded whether this meant reed organs, pipe organs, or small automatic player organs, the following year he organized a company to manufacture and market an automated player pipe organ, the 'orguinette', which had been invented by Mason Mathews in 1876.
