What is the PTG and what is an RPT ?
The PTG is the Piano Technicians Guild. An RPT is a Registered Piano Technician, a designation of certain PTG members who have passed standardized exams in the areas of piano tuning, service and repair. An RPT designation indicates that a technician has been proven to possess a minimum competency level. There are many fine technicians who have not received the RPT designation and are not members of the PTG. I am an associate member of the PTG and I am currently in preparation to take the RPT examinations.
