The Cunningham Piano Company
Patrick J. Cunningham - Founder
Each year Cunningham Piano Company provides the Philadelphia International Music Festival with up to 25 upright grand pianos and baby grand pianos. The Cunningham Piano Company was started in 1891 by Patrick J. Cunningham, an Irish immigrant with a craft and a dream. Through his leadership, commitment to quality, and a keen business sense Cunningham Piano Company quickly became one of Philadelphia's most respected makers of pianos.
Today, visitors to Cunningham Piano Company have the opportunity to take a step back in time and tour one of the largest and oldest piano restoration factories in existence. They can look over the shoulders of some of the finest craftspeople in the piano industry as they lovingly bring musical treasures back to life. They can also audition an exciting new addition to the Philadelphia musical community – the New Cunningham Piano!
Cunningham has delivered, rebuilt, and restored Steinway pianos to Japan, Korea, and all over the United States. They have delivered fully restored pianos as far as Canada, London, Germany, and India and are internationally recognized for the consistency and beauty of their work.
Locally, Cunningham can count Temple University, Rowan University, Eastern University, Chestnut Hill College, and Immaculata College as their clients, but music schools like Indiana University, Bloomington regularly use our services, even though they are hundreds or thousands of miles away.
