Cameron, A. B.

In addition to having his own firm, A. B. Cameron was listed as President of “The Knickerbocker Piano Company” of New York in 1912. Knickerbocker went out of business a short time later while Cameron’s firm continued to prosper. As A. B. Cameron’s success grew, the firm moved to larger quarters. First, the firm was relocated at 502 – 506 East 74th Street, then finally to 213 East 135th Street, New York City.

A. B. Cameron is one of the few American piano manufacturers to survive the Great Depression without being absorbed into a larger conglomerate, but the firm went out of business with the onset of World War II. We have seen a handful of pianos by A.B. Cameron come through our workshop over the years, and they have consistently been very well made, high quality instruments.
