What is a Registered Piano Technician (RPT)?

There are two levels of membership in the Piano Technicians Guild (PTG).

A Registered Piano Technician (RPT) has voluntarily taken and passed a series of rigorous examinations, demonstrating competence in the tuning, maintenance, repair, and regulation of pianos. The Piano Technicians Guild sets high standards and administers these comprehensive examinations in order to ensure that technicians with the RPT designation are equipped to offer high quality piano service to clients who are interested in hiring professionals at the top of their field.An associate member has not passed these exams. In some cases they may be working toward taking them.
