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.

All
our members adhere to the PTTGNZ Code of Ethics. This document
provides guidelines and standards that Registered Technician members are required to adhere to, both technical and
ethical.
"Our guild exists to give customers peace of mind when choosing a piano
technician or dealing with service issues. All our members adhere to a code of ethics that
ensures a good standard of service and workmanship that the public can rely on" David Salmon, president 2012-2015
Professional Development
The guild meets several times per year. One of the objectives is to provide
all members with ongoing professional development in the form of technical workshops, exposure to international
speakers, industry presentations and dissemination of the latest developments in piano technology.
