We have a tuner in the area who has included "Piano Technicians Guild" logo with his ad for several years in the local directory. Turns out he requested a membership application, but never joined. Sleezy!

I strongly feel it creates consumer confusion. A lot of tuners advertise with "Certified" just because they graduated with a certificate, whether from an accredited school or not. Anecdotally I have noticed that these tuners are usully not members of PTG. I have even seen it posted like a "diploma". We need to make sure our brand is strong and clear to the public. -- Boaz Kirschenbaum, RPT | Concert Piano Tuner Cherry Tree Piano PO Box 1304 West Tisbury, MA 02575 508-939-0629 | Cell & Office info at cherrytreepiano.com | email www.cherrytreepiano.com | web -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
