Why choose an RPT?
A piano not only has more than 200 strings to be tuned separately but more than 10,000 parts that need to be kept in proper regulation to keep it sounding great and working properly.
Also, there is a huge difference between someone who just “tunes” pianos and someone who is a Registered Piano Technician. With this in mind, the main the difference is quality. An RPT is the highest standard for piano technicians for the past 60 years. Because of an RPT’s level of experience, they not only tune your piano, but can address issues such as sticky, keys, squeaky pedals, and other repairs. They can also adjust the tone and touch of your piano.
In July of 2007, Duncan Petesron became a Registered Piano Technician (RPT) Member of the Piano Technicians Guild. Learn more about the Piano Technician’s Guild.
