Welcome to the Phoenix Chapter of the

Piano Technicians Guild

Renner USA

7755 E Redfield Rd Suite 200,

Join us to learn how to replace worn key bushings and greatly improve the overall feel of a piano. Jon Aycock will explain the process of removing the old bushings, sizing the mortises, gluing in the new bushings, and easing the keys as needed afterwards. Then everyone will get hands-on experience gluing new bushings in the keys of the Mason and Hamlin we are rebuilding!
This is also one of the repair tasks required in the RPT Technical Exam! Don’t miss out on this opportunity to practice for your exams, or to share some tips and tricks with newcomers if you are already an RPT!

We are still looking for interested candidates for officer positions! If you’d like to help out in our chapter and learn what goes into planning meetings, please reach out to Jim Sorensen, Chip Meyer, Steven Gevirtz, or phxptgsec@gmail.com.

Matt Brown, RPT, led us as we continued our rebuild of a Mason and Hamlin A. We worked together to open the cracks in the soundboard and fill them using an epoxy method of repair.
