We've been testing these carbon fibre levers from Amazon. Great quality and unbelievable low prices. If you want to try carbon fibre, you can return it if you don't like it

🎹Congratulations Steve! Hard work and study paid off. Did you know that unlike some organisations, PTG examiners have to first be RPTs and then have to undergoe rigorous testing by skills assessors to prove their ability to give examinations.

Couldn't agree more- we can't believe that there are now schools that do not have MUSIC as a GSCE Option.

Education would be better.

It has been a very busy Spring term! We welcomed 3 young local school students for work experience - year 10 and 12. They got to sit in on some tutorials and got some hands on workshop experience too.
We welcomed George from Gazelle.in person for two great business presentations.
Q&A and stories from the coalface when Laurence Caldiccote spent the morning wth us before heading up to london for Islington Pianos - being filmed ahead of the release of movie.
Thanks to David wilce Firstep Online for his very ueful presentation on tip and tricks for your online preence and the pitfalls to avoid.
Then it was off to Piano Restorations Ltd for another great visit, ahead of work experience over the next few weeks

Away from the current cohort - 6 tuners came for a "Back -to -school" Repairs day- a great chance to meet tuners and brush up on those skills tuners may have forgotten or in some cases never been taught.

Thanks also to Tom & Nigel Kawai Pianos UK for welcoming 8 tuners to their HQ for Hybrid training.

Last week we hosted American piano tuner and pianist Steven Hopp, for a Grand PianoTuning Stability workshop.
