P. Williams, Piano
Restorations has been in business for over 35 years, serving the Dallas/Fort
Worth Metroplex. The location of the shop is 35 miles north of Dallas
and Fort Worth in the small town of Krum, Texas.
The original purpose
of this business was to service those individuals who value the older
instrument. We provide services including tuning, repair, and complete restoration.
Our original purpose still exists.
The shop is capable
of all forms of restoration and piano refurbishment including piano
action refurbishment, piano restringing, soundboard reconstruction, and
case restoration. We are proud that all major piano rebuilding operations are done "in-house". Our facilities include specific areas for parts fabrication, duplication, and refurbishment. It is important to us to get as close to the originals as possible.
Since the availability of parts for player components has diminished significantly and if available are extremely expensive, We had to find a way to make these great instruments play by themselves again.
We did this by installing electronic player systems
such as "Pianomation" by QRS. In instruments that were originally players or non-players, these electronic systems provide the same or better performance to original roll players. Plus, these systems add an audio track that supports the piano with other instruments. This is of great joy
to those customers who do not personally play the piano but want to enjoy
its music.

We strive to reproduce
the quality craftsmanship and materials that the original piano manufacturers
utilized. We appreciate the hard work of those who designed these wonderful
instruments and those people who dedicated themselves to building the
instruments.
Instruments from many states are shipped directly into the facility for refurbishment. Many have been in the same family for generations and are family heirlooms that people want to pass down to their children or grandchildren. We want to help create more memories through the music of those instruments.
Included in this site are photographs of various stages of work in progress: "before" the restoration, what happens "during" restoration, and finally, the "after" photograph of the completed instruments. You will also find sections devoted to the various types of pianos and their particular specializations.
