Given the myth surrounding the whole company... problems associated with the concept of "certified piano tech" (which the PTG itself struggles with quite a bit) it doesn't surprise me a bit that Steinway doesn't want anyone calling themselves Steinway Certified but at the same time want to see techs they have some direct knowledge of, and can feel at least reasonably assured will do competent work at all Steinway schools. I dont see there is much to point ones finger at here.... outside of the general situation regarding such certifications in the US of A in general. Cheers RicB
