According to Hughes: Tuner fro Dominion Organ & Piano Co. According to http://www.TheCanadianEncyclopedia.com: Dominion Organ and Piano Co. Instrument manufacturer. Although the date has not been substantiated, the firm was probably founded in 1870 in Oshawa as (A.M.) Darley and (William) Robinson, later called the Oshawa Organ and Melodeon Manufacturing Co. The firm relocated in Bowmanville, Ont, in 1873 and was renamed the Dominion Organ Co in 1875. It specialized in cabinet reed organs. These were distinctive for the reed-qualifying tubes which replaced tuning slides to give even-register voicing. In 1876 a 19-stop Dominion organ with 12 sets of reeds won an international medal at the Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition. Prizes in Paris, London, and Chicago followed. A piano factory was added in 1879, and two-manual organs for church use were introduced in the 1880s. The exceptional quality of Dominion's square grand and upright pianos made the company second only to Bell as a Canadian instrument producer and exporter. Before World War I it maintained agencies in Europe, Australia, New Zealand and the West Indies. As a sales promotion the firm published complimentary piano music as well as the Dominion Organ and Piano Company's Modern Method for Reed Organ, possibly the first such work to appear in Canada. After several changes of owner the company was taken over in 1901 by J.W. Alexander. Later models of Dominion organs displayed a declining tonal quality, although Dominion pianos retained their reputation. Demand decreased during the Depression of the mid-1930s, and even after introducing other lines, including the successful Mitchell phonograph, the firm suffered as a result of competition from radio and a scarcity of capital. The company closed in March 1936. Author Melva Graham, Florence Hayes Issue devoted to Dominion Organ and Piano Co. Belvedere, Bowmanville Museum publication, Summer 1988 Kelly, Wayne.

According to Hughes: Tuner for Dominion Organ & Piano Co. The Sarah Jane Williams Heritage Centre (62 Temperance St, Bowmanville, Ontario) is Clarington's newest museum. Located in the former Bowmanville Library it houses exhibits devoted to the Dominion Organ and Piano Company and the museum's large doll and toy collection. The Dominion Organ and Piano Company was noted as the second largest organ and piano producer in Canada. On display are over a dozen examples of the fine craftsmanship produced by the company in addition to archival documents and artifacts detailing the work of a organ/piano craftsman. The Centre is also home to changing museum exhibits throughout the year including travelling exhibits from the Royal Ontario Museum. Check our Exhibits page for the Exhibit currently on display.
