I have successfully passed the membership examinations<\/a> conducted by\u00a0Pianoforte Tuners\u2019 Association in June 2015.<\/p>\n

By July 2015, all registration procedures are completed and thus I have officially become a Registered Piano Technician (RPT) under the mentioned organization.<\/p>\n
