How do I write a review for Piano World, a business that makes the impossible become possible, and…read morethen reality? How do you write about a business owner who is world renowned for his ability to restore pianos and organs that others have given up on? How do you write about a business who's owner puts his heart and soul into his work, and produces masterpieces that would make the old European masters smile in recognition? I can't do the man behind this business justice, as he truly is a master at what he does. His work can be found everywhere from the Fabulous Fox Theater to small church organs in out of the way places. I have known him for years, and it gives me great pleasure to write this review. But my words do not carry the same weight as his work and craftsmanship does. His work will sing his praises far better than this Yelp review. But if you need a piano or organ restored or tuned, pretty much anywhere in America, this is the place you need to be calling. Mythical 6th Star Status: Because nobody else comes close to what he can do.

I attended Baylor University to receive a Bachelor of Music degree in music history and literature. I feel that all organs and pianos have their own personality. Each of the styles of organ building have one or more styles of music that they play best. All styles of organ are necessary to be able to play the past several hundred years of organ literature. Only rarely would I discard the weakest link. Instead, I try to build it up and improve it. In the rarest of cases, the way the builder engineered something, it just cannot work right. Only then does it get re-engineered or replaced.

Austin came out and after a few minutes told me it had a cracked sound board and he didn't think it was worth tuning. If someone had told me to check the sound board (which is easy to access) before sending him out I would have seen that. He suggested I buy a new piano from them at about 4000.00 and have them move my piano to a landfill for about 560.00. Not a pleasant experience.
