Who are we kidding? You don't need a reason to save money!

Read on to find out how you can get your piano tuned for only $99 !!!

Piano tuning is getting pretty expensive, partly because of the ridiculous price of gas!!!

If I only had to drive 5 minutes between customers, I could reduce my prices considerably!

My scheduling software can do it, but the problem is that PEI is so spread out that once someone books an appointment, nobody else can book that appointment unless they live 5 minutes away from the first person!

I found the solution.

If you would like to pay only $99 for a tuning and are flexible, reply to this post with your address or street intersection and weekdays/times you are available. Any day of the week and all times are available.

When I get a bunch of people in one area, I'll reach out. You'll get your piano tuned for a lot less money, and I'll have a lot less driving to do! Classic win-win 😎

This is Charli. She's our dog. She's a good dog.

I've been teaching her to heel, fetch, turn, lie down, lie on her side, etc., and she's pretty good at it. I'm proud of how well she listens.

But there's this guy in our neighbourhood who walks his dog every day, without a leash! The dog just follows him.

Today I was practicing with Charli. I had the leash on her but she was fetching the ball and Mr. Fancy Pants and his dog came by.

Well that was it. Charli was gone, barking at his dog, and his dog just stayed beside him.

The thought occurred to me; maybe I should ask him how he trained his dog, but then it occurred to me. I know what he would say; all the stuff that I know, but don't want to admit.

- Take your dog out many times a day, not just once a day (We sometimes miss a day and that's when Charli is the most wild.)

- Take some classes in dog obedience

- Be humble enough to know you can't do it yourself, and get help.

And then it occurred to me that a lot of the people that reach out to me about piano tuning are just like me and Charli.

What are some of the things you know you should be doing to get better at piano tuning (or whatever) but you just don't want to admit it, even though deep down you know doing them would make you successful?

Mark Cerisano, Registered Piano Technician (RPT) is now on PEI and accepting appointments.

Mark has been an RPT since 2005. Before that, he played jazz trumpet on Holland America Cruise Lines and Carnival Cruise Lines.

His original career was as a Mechanical Engineer where he worked for Liquid Air Engineering in Montreal and Paris, France. However, the arts called him and he went back to university to receive training in Jazz Performance and received his Diploma in Education from McGill University.

After working professionally on cruise ships where he backed up such famous musicians as Peter Marshal and Shirley Jones, he worked as a high school teacher for eight years.

During that time, Mark joined the Piano Technicians Guild and became a registered piano technician.

As a professional technician, Mark has been instrumental in developing and promoting high level aural piano tuning results. One needs to develop their ear to the highest level using advanced aural piano tuning techniques if one wishes to tune pianos to a high level for concerts, recording studios, professionals, and other people who demand high quality. Computers can help, but they can't produce the best tunings by themselves. That is why Mark uses only aural techniques to tune pianos.

With these skills, Mark has been engaged by the University of Prince Edward Island to tune for their Concert Series performances which bring in many world famous musicians to perform at Steele Hall.

As the foremost expert on advanced aural tuning techniques, Mark has been asked to teach at the world level conference of piano technicians - The Piano Technicians Guild Convention in Denver, Colorado.

He has also published four articles in the Piano Technicians Journal on advanced aural tuning techniques and written four books on the subject.

These articles include:
Tuning Accurate Equal Temperament, June 2015
NSL Tension Analysis for Improved Stability, July 2015
Unison Drift (Weinreich Effect), March 2016
Aural Stretch Using Beat Speed Windows, Nov 2017

Mark Cerisano also currently trains aural piano technicians online from all over the world through his website, howtotunepianos.com and is the sole founding member of the International Piano Technicians Association, (iPTA), see ipta.tech.

Mark splits his time tuning pianos between Montreal and Prince Edward Island. He is highly sought after as an expert in aural piano tuning and for his ability to produce the best and most stable tunings possible on any piano.

He is currently accepting appointments on PEI.
