I´m just trying to spur interest in the possibility, but having you present this would be a great concoction with the fire-and-ice aura of the country. ;) Best regards, Kristinn >> If you plan an event for early next year, Jan-Feb-March, I could do it. Since I am a Certified Tuning Examiner for PTG, I could facilitate the offering of the official Tuning Exam. If you plan a weekend seminar, you could have Exams take place just prior to that, say on Thursday and Friday during the day. You could also offer the Technical Exam. You would just need to get some other PTG people that have the equipment and know how to conduct it. Unfortunately, the PTG Exams can only be given in English but an interpreter can be used for people whose English skills are limited. You can also have a "Mock" Exam. That is, to conduct the Exam as PTG does it but without official PTG recognition. If your own country's Piano Technician Organization would accept PTG's procedures as its own, the Exam could be conducted in much the same way as it is here but the results recognized only in your own country. I'd love to see the land of fire & ice. I'll bet your winters aren't much worse than they are here in Wisconsin anyway. Regards, Bill Bremmer RPT Madison, Wisconsin
