Piano Technicians Guild
Milwaukee Chapter
Welcome to the website of the Milwaukee chapter of the Piano Technicians
Guild (PTG). The PTG is a national trade association for piano tuners that
provides education in technical skills and business development as well as
resource materials for pianists and piano teachers.
Associate membership is open to anyone with a professional or avocational
interest in piano technology. The most important thing we do is to qualify
members as Registered Piano Technicians by requiring that a technician pass a
rigorous set of examinations. The RPT credential shows that the technician is
ready to handle normal piano service and repair.
Here in Milwaukee, our chapter supports PTG goals by offering a professional
peer network, technical presentations at our monthly meetings and mentoring for
Associates new to the trade. We welcome new members of all experience
levels and hope to be a valuable resource for them in the development of their
skills and businesses.
For more information about the PTG, visit our national website at www.ptg.org.
