Grin... I'm trying to hard to equate the "stringent standardized tests..." ("stringent" defined by Webster as "marked by rigor, strictness, or severity especially with regard to rule or standard ") to the "minimal inkling of the workings of a piano...." bit... having a bit of difficulty. Cheers RicB "An RPT is a Registered Piano Technician, who has passed stringent standardized tests to determine that s/he has at least a minimal inkling of the workings of a piano, how to make everyday repairs, and how it should be tuned."
