The Guild
is a non-profit organization which aims to uphold and raise standards of excellence in the piano service industry for the
benefit of piano owners nationwide.
The Guild has an association with the Australian technicians' guild, the APTTA.
There is a regular exchange of ideas, speakers and exam standards between technicians of the
two countries, as well
as regular communication with other international piano technician organizations and industry spokespeople.
The PTTGNZ maintains a membership list which is accessible to the public. PTTG members adhere
to the ethical and technical standards set by the Guild for the benefit of both the public and the technicians.
