What is a Registered Piano Technician?

Registered Piano Technicians are piano tuner-technicians who have passed three rigorous examinations that are held by the Piano Technicians Guild Inc. The first examination is a written exam which is used to assess general knowledge of pianos. The second examination is a "hands on" regulation and repair test to assess general skills of craftsmanship on upright and grand pianos. The third examination is the tuning exam. In all of these examinations, a standard of 80 percent must be achieved to become a Registered Piano Technician with the Piano Technicians Guild, Inc. For more information on these exams, please go to Links: The Piano Page / The Canadian Piano Page

Les techniciens de pianos accrédités sont des techniciens accordeurs qui ont passé avec succès trois examens très rigoureux sous la supervision de la Piano Technicians Guild Inc. Le premier consiste en un examen écrit portant sur les connaissances générales et tous les aspects techniques du piano. Le second est un examen pratique de réparation et de réglage où le candidat doit démontrer ses habiletés et ses compétences autant pour les pianos droits que pour les pianos àqueue. Le troisième enfin est un examen d'accord où la justesse et la stabilité des ajustements sont rigoureusement évalués par un panel d'experts. Un minimum de 80% est exigé dans tous les tests afin d'obtenir l'accréditation de la PTG.
