Cunningham Piano Opens 15,000-Square-Foot King of Prussia Music Destination

Eric Wortham, Adele's Pianist to Headline First Concert

(Ed Williams)

Cunningham Piano Company, one of the Philadelphia region’s most enduring names in music, opens its expansive new 15,000-square-foot location at 450 S. Henderson Road in King of Prussia on October 1, 2026, bringing piano sales, restoration, music education, innovative technology, and live performance together under one roof.

The new facility will house an extraordinary 200 to 300 pianos, ranging from traditional acoustic instruments to some of the most technologically advanced pianos available today. At the heart of the new location will be the Yamaha Experience Room, an immersive, hands-on space where musicians can explore how cutting-edge technology is transforming the way pianos are played, experienced, and enjoyed. The facility will also include a dedicated performance center, further establishing the new King of Prussia location as a destination for musicians of all ages and abilities.

“The Yamaha Experience Room is really about experiencing what the future of the piano can be,” said Tim Oliver, co-owner of Cunningham Piano Company. “Guests will be able to experience Yamaha’s remarkable Disklavier, which combines the artistry and craftsmanship of an acoustic piano with advanced reproducing and digital technology, alongside the latest Clavinova digital pianos. Our goal isn’t to create 19th-century musicians; it’s to usher in 21st-century musicians by giving them access to the instruments, technology and experiences that are shaping the future of music.”

The King of Prussia location represents a significant expansion for a company whose roots date back to 1891. For more than a century, Cunningham Piano Company has served professional musicians, educators, students, families, and institutions throughout the region while building a national reputation for piano sales, restoration, and service.

The new facility is designed to carry that legacy forward while reimagining what a piano showroom can be. Rather than serving solely as a place to purchase an instrument, Oliver envisions the King of Prussia location as a destination where people can experience music firsthand, whether they are professional musicians, lifelong players, students just beginning lessons, or families exploring music for the first time.

A centerpiece of that vision is the new performance space, which will allow Cunningham to host concerts, recitals, educational programs, demonstrations, master classes, and community events.

Cunningham Piano Company will celebrate the new location with a Grand Opening Concert on Friday, November 6, 2026, featuring a special performance by acclaimed pianist Eric Wortham, widely known for his work with global superstar Adele. Wortham, a Philadelphia native, has performed with major artists and on stages around the world. His appearance at Cunningham will give guests the chance to experience the new performance center as intended, with an accomplished musician at the piano and an audience gathered around live music. Cunningham will host monthly First Fridays Concerts through May.

The new location will also showcase the changing relationship between traditional piano craftsmanship and technology.

Among the featured instruments will be Yamaha Disklavier, a sophisticated reproducing piano that is first and foremost an acoustic piano but incorporates technology capable of recording and reproducing performances with remarkable precision. Cunningham will also showcase Yamaha’s Clavinova digital piano line, offering visitors the opportunity to explore how technology is expanding the ways musicians learn, practice, perform, and create.

At the same time, Cunningham will continue the craftsmanship and personalized service that have defined the company for generations. Its restoration work preserves and renews instruments that can carry decades, and often generations, of musical history, while its sales and educational teams help musicians find instruments suited to how they play and how they hope to grow.

Music education will also be an important component of the King of Prussia facility, reflecting Cunningham’s longstanding belief that access to music can have a lasting impact on young people and communities. There are five private instruction rooms where students can participate in piano, strings or voice lessons.

The new location combines the historic Germantown restoration factory they closed in early 2026 with their previous King of Prussia retail location. The new site combines the two workforces, employing 15 technicians, instructors, and sales associates. The new location also gives Cunningham a central presence in one of the Philadelphia region’s most accessible destinations, allowing the company to serve musicians and families from Philadelphia, the Main Line, Montgomery County, Chester County, and communities throughout the Delaware Valley. The new location is open Tuesday through Saturday, 11 a.m.–6 p.m.; Sunday, 1–5 p.m.; and Monday by appointment only.

“We want people to walk through the doors even if they aren't currently shopping for a piano,” co-owner Rich Galassini added. “Come hear an artist perform. Bring a child to experience live music. Learn about how a piano is restored. Meet other musicians. We want Cunningham Piano Company to be a gathering place for the region’s music community.”
