Presenting the newest RPT... Yours truly!
I made it! After a combined 11 hours of testing, a sliced finger, and enough adrenaline to power a rocket, I earned the distinction of Registered Piano Technician.
(Insert applause here)
I scheduled all three tests in advance in a three day span, which is apparently uncommon. I can now see why. I felt confident in my training and skill going in but the RPT test absolutely pushes you to the limit. To say it was intense is a gross understatement.
I had 6 great examiners and would like to thank them here for their advice and support.
Tuning Examiners:
- Atsundo Aikawa
- Keiju Tsuruta
- David Porter
Technical Examiners:
- Bill Davis
- David Davis
- Ann Fell
I'd like to give an extra special thanks to the technical examiners, Bill, David, and Ann. Their support helped me through some difficult moments.
I 'm not the only new RPT though. The last number I heard was 6 new RPT's. Congrats to them as well.
