After 45 years in the piano Tuning and repair business , Mr. Barone has decided to FULLY retire and has now SOLD the Business to Mr. William Perez of Las Cruces.
Mr. Perez , Born in Silver City, New Mexico was born into a musical family where music was a constant presence. All of Wills siblings play instruments and his lifelong connection to music was shaped by his mother Viola Perez and father Thomas A Perez - the most naturally gifted musician he had ever known.
Music was not only something they did—it was something his entire family lived !
Mr. Perez started to train along side Mr. Barone since November of 2025 and will be assuming ALL operations and facets of Carl Barone Piano Service.
After Will moved to Las Cruces in 2006, He continued working closely with pianos in both performance and worship settings. Today, " Will " serves as the Music Director for Cedar Hills Church Of The Cross and is also the director of APP8 Music.
Mr. Perez's personal statement is as follows
" I am deeply thankful for the opportunity to apprentice under Carl Barone, a Master Piano Technician and an exceptional teacher. Through Mr. Barone's mentorship I have learned not only the technical aspects of piano tuning and care but also learned the importance of treating each client’s piano as if it were my own. That philosophy of care, respect and attention to detail guides every service I plan to provide. I look forward to serving new clients while continuing to care for Mr. Barone's existing clients providing the same dependable high-quality service they have trusted for many years "
CONGRADULATIONS WILL !
