Patrick J. Cunningham once said, "We will dispense with the endorsements of Paderewski, Von Bulow, Rubinstein, Wagner, Mendelssohn, and several other celebrities, also prize medals received in Paris, Vienna, London, Philadelphia, And Chicago, by putting our argument to the point, and in a nut shell: We offer $10,000 for a better piano than the Matchless Cunningham"
Because no one ever took him up on his offer, his piano remained Matchless. It is bold concepts such as this that still echo through the halls of the Cunningham Piano Company.
