This site has been created for those individuals who want to preserve the quality, craftsmanship, and beauty of the older pianos. With our modern lifestyles, we sometimes tend to forget that the older instruments were manufactured at a time when the workmanship and materials used were a matter of pride and integrity. Too many times our customers have been told: "That is just an old worn out grand or old upright piano." "It cannot be repaired and you should get rid of it and buy a new instrument." We totally disagree! Ninety percent of the older instruments can be restored to their former glory. In addition to having a wonderful piano, many of these great instruments have a "family history" that cannot be found in a "new" piano. Sometimes that fact makes that piano more valuable than anything else.

If you really care and "love" your instrument, please read on!

We Care!

P. Williams, Piano Restorations has been in business for over 34 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. That 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 also include player piano component subcontracting services. A portion of our shop is dedicated to the refurbishing of player actions and player components.

We also install electronic player systems such as "Pianomation" by QRS in instruments that were originally non-players or were player pianos that have had their original mechanisms lost over the years. This is of great joy to those customers who do not personally play the piano but want to enjoy its music. This allows one to continue to play the piano as in the past and also allows the piano to play itself.

If you are interested in this type of system, CLICK HERE for more information.

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.
