How to Tune Pianos

The Hobby, Skill, and Career of Piano Tuning

By Mark Cerisano

Hi. My name is Mark Cerisano, and I teach people how to tune and repair pianos.

I have been tuning and repairing pianos since 2000.

Shortly after getting my Registered Piano Technicians certificate from the Piano Technicians Guild, I began showing people how to tune and repair pianos themselves, to help them save money servicing their own piano or to begin a new career in piano technology.

What I found immediately was that some of the conventional methods I was using were poor and vague and did not help my students get good results fast enough.

That frustration started me on the path to find a better way to tune pianos by ear.

With professional work experience as a mechanical engineer, public school music teacher, and professional musician, I was able to use these skills to create and develop the

Go A.P.E. Aural Piano Tuning System.

A.P.E. stands for Accuracy, Precision, and Efficiency.

This is the same exact system I use to tune all my customers pianos today. Since developing this system, my tunings have skyrocketed in quality and my frustration has plummeted.

I recommend this method for all my students.

Mark
