He acquired several organ companies in Boston and founded the Aeolian Organ & Music company in 1888. Tremaine started a piano business in 1868, with his brothers called the “Tremaine Brothers.” He helped engineer and go to market with the “orguinette” which by 1883, had evolved into the well-known Aeolian organ, a table-top organ for in-home play.
Perhaps the most recognizable name in the piano industry during the 1900s, the history of the Aeolian piano brand began in the 1860s in Connecticut.
