Charles Marenghi & Cie was a French fairground organ manufacturer. Charles Marenghi started his career working in the famous organ factory of Gavioli & Cie in Paris. By 1900, he was chief of the Gavioli workshops. After troubles between the associates he decided to start his own business in 1903, in the former Gavioli factory at the Avenue de Taillebourg near the Place de la Nation in Paris. His products had a strong resemblance to Gavioli's organs; however, Marenghi added several inventions of his own, like the "Grélotophone", a register of tuned sleighbells for which he was granted a patent in 1914. He sold many fairground organs, especially to the UK, where some of his best instruments may still be seen and heard.

Au cours des ans, il vend de nombreuses orgues de foire, particulièrement en Grande-Bretagne où certaines sont encore en activité. La santé déclinante de Charles Marenghi l'oblige à prendre une part moins active dans l'entreprise, qui est finalement reprise par ses employés de confiance Paul et Pierre Gaudin. Ils continuent à produire et vendre des orgues sous le nom de Gaudin Frères - Charles Marenghi et Cie Successeurs après sa mort en 1919. Il est enterré au cimetière d'Ivry. (fr)
