The Piano Technicians Guild, Inc. is the largest non-profit
organization serving piano tuners, technicians, and craftsmen
throughout the world. Formed in 1957 by the merger of the American
Society of Piano Technicians and the National Association of Piano
Tuners, the Guild was organized to promote the highest possible
service and technical standards among piano tuners and technicians.
The Washington DC Chapter was the first chapter in the Piano
Technicians Guild (PTG) and has reached its 50th anniversary! We
have 78 members in our chapter and over half of our members are
Registered Piano Technicians. A Registered Piano Technician
(RPT) is a piano technician who has passed a series of rigorous
tests given by the PTG.
