Back in 1906, Jonathan Cooper founded the business Cooper Brothers, Inc. in Pennsylvania where he put his knowledge of woodworking into crafting and selling pump organs. As business grew, Cooper added additional services including selling and restoring pianos. The business continued to grow and evolve as the times and the market shifted. Eventually, the company moved to Atlanta.
During the Great Depression and again in World War II, many people turned to Cooper for piano restoration allowing the company to develop a reputation as a premier restorer of superbly crafted antique pianos. Cooper Music is now largest piano restorer in the Southeast.
The business expanded greatly in the 1970s and 1980s but combined all it’s stores into 
one large showroom in the 1990s offering new pianos, piano restoration, classes, rentals and a concert hall. The staff members at Cooper Music are experts in all pianos. The showroom in Atlanta carries about 30 brands of pianos including the top names in pianos like Schimmel and Steinway.
