[CAUT] bid savvy

[Ward & Probst, Inc]

Hello again Jeff,
 
I checked- an institution requiring the RPT credential is not an issue of
antitrust. If PTG were boycotting or trying to intimidate institutions that
did not us RPT's that would be a problem.
 
Best,
Dale

That's where it becomes an anti trust issue.  I think that point of view is
treading on very thin legal ice.

Where the problem manifests itself is when manufacturer's like Yamaha and
Steinway don't specify RPT.  When a tech can complete all the levels of
Steinway and Yamaha training, and tour with their touring artists, but not
be qualified for CAUTism because they're not an RPT, the credibility of our
claim suffers terribly.
