DAVID ANDERSON RPT
EST. 1990
Thirty years of experience.

From the living room to the concert stage, I have tuned and repaired pianos for amateur and professional musicians alike to ensure that each instrument is playing at its best. As a Registered member of the Piano Technicians Guild and 30 years of experience, my client list includes hundreds of private individuals as well as many special events, churches, schools, hotels, and piano dealers all over the Ottawa area.
The Piano Technicians Guild (PTG) is a not for profit association of piano technicians with members worldwide. The PTG has two major functions: to provide education for professional piano technicians and to operate an examinations program to qualify technicians as Registered Piano Technicians (RPT).

The Piano Technicians Guild has two levels of membership, Associate and Registered. Associate membership is granted upon joining the Guild while becoming a Registered Piano Technician is earned by passing a set of rigorous, standardised examinations. There are three tests: written, technical and tuning. All examinations have a passing grade of 80%. Being a Registered member means adhering to a strict code of ethics and participating in on-going education.
Piano Technicians Guild Code of Ethics:
  1. I will act honourably and in a professional manner.
  2. I will render the best possible service under the circumstances, always keeping the best interests of my client in mind.
  3. I will engage only in fair trade practices in the knowledge that I am reflecting the honesty and integrity for which the Piano Technicians Guild stands.
  4. I will use the name and trademarks of the Piano Technicians Guild properly and will encourage others to do the same.
  5. I will strive to upgrade my professional skills and I will encourage and help others to do the same.
  6. I will promote, in any way that I can, good will toward my profession and toward the music industry.
