Hi Rick, If no one can do it perfectly (other than the etd's) then the test is just about right. Your mileage may vary. I agree that becoming a rpt is a beginning rather than an ending. There are about 70 "piano tuners" in Saskatchewan--and just one who is an RPT. Make the test harder? I don't think that would be productive.
