But what exactly is the PTG The PTG is a professional organization of piano tunertechnicians.

According to our Bylaws, the mission of the PTG is to promote the highest possible standards of piano service by providing members with opportunities for professional development, by recognizing technical competence through examinations and by advancing the interests of its members.

An RPT has proved hisher technical and tuning abilities with passing a serious of rigorous exam.

First is a 100 question written examination, which asks questions about piano tuning repairs, rebuilding, design, voicing and the history of the piano.

This is followed by a 4 hour technical exam, in which a candidate must be able to show hands on competence in repairing and regulating both upright and grand pianos.

To become an RPT, a candidate must pass all the exams with a score of 80 or better.

To become a TEC or CTE an RPT must retake all the exams again, but pass them with a score of 90 or better.

The PTG sponsors an Annual Convention and Technical Institute once a year, and throughout the year there are a number of regional and state weekend seminars.

In February of 2014 I attended a regional seminar in San Francisco, where I taught four different classes on tuning, business and regulation.

PTGs Annual Convention will be in Denver this summer, where I have been asked to teach a class on soundboard, bridge, and pin block repairs using epoxies.
