One of the oldest piano companies in the world located in Philadelphia will shutter its showroom to relocate, and it will open a second, new location in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania.
Cunningham Piano, founded in 1891, for the first 50 years of its existence built pianos by hand in Philadelphia, and in 1943 added rebuilding and restoration services.
The company, which carries and restores well-known piano brands like Yamaha, Steinway, Bösendorfer and its own Cunningham Piano, has become a go-to company for pianists and organists around the globe.
