A 58-year veteran of the piano retail industry, Joseph Brattesani founded World Class Pianos in 2008, and owned the store until his retirement in 2017. Brattesani opened his first store, Joe Brattesani School of Music, in San Francisco in 1959, where he both sold musical instruments and offered lessons; later the store was expanded and renamed Music City. He accepted a management position with Sherman & Clay in 1965, purchased Cline Piano in 1975, and co-founded Colton Pianos of Northern California in 1981. After retiring from Colton Piano in 1994 and selling his stores, Brattesani worked as a consultant for several piano retailers and manufacturers; in 2008, he returned to retail with World Class Pianos.
