ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT FUNCTIONS THE PIANO TECHNICIANS GUILD DOES IS TO QUALIFY TECHNICIANS AS REGISTERED PIANO TECHNICIANS TO ASSURE QUALITY PIANO SERVICE BY REQUIRING THAT A TECHNICIAN PASS A RIGOROUS SET OF EXAMINATIONS. THE RPT CREDENTIAL SHOWS THAT THE TECHNICIAN IS READY TO HANDLE NORMAL PIANO SERVICE AND REPAIR. THE PIANO TECHNICIANS GUILD HAS PUT A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT INTO ITS EXAMINATIONS TO ESTABLISH A GOOD SET OF STANDARDIZED TESTS WHICH WILL HELP ENSURE QUALITY PIANO SERVICE.

WHEN SELECTING A PIANO TUNER-TECHNICIAN TO SERVICE YOUR PIANO, IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU CONTACT A REGISTERED PIANO TECHNICIAN (RPT) FROM THE PIANO TECHNICIANS GUILD. STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENTS DO NOT LICENSE THE PIANO SERVICE INDUSTRY, THUS ANYONE CAN CLAIM TO BE A QUALIFIED PIANO TUNER. I HAVE BEEN A REGISTERED PIANO TECHNICIAN (CRAFTSMAN MEMBER, RPT) SINCE 1977.
