Pianotech

The IRS designation is piano technician. Everything's a technician with them. So I guess officially I'm a piano technician. 

I've heard the term piano tuner as the most common thing people call me. Also been called piano repair guy, piano tech guy, piano guy, piano artisan, piano dude, piano cleaner, and piano man. Those are just the ones I remember off the top of my head.

Subject: What do you call yourself?

So I'm prompted to ask this question  as a similar thread was started on the Acoustic Guitar Forum  (AGF) that I'm a member of , the post was  questioning the overuse of the term 'luthier' for anyone connected to guitar repair work , ooh and btw that thread  has had 3000 views and 100 replies.
Then I remembered in what now seems like another age  pre cell phones and email  that daily I would return multiple voicemail messages left on the landline , generally introducing myself as Martin Snow Piano technician  returning your call, these calls generally placed early evening were sometimes picked up by one of the kids in the home  and I'd hear them yell   ".....hey Mom it's the piano guy on the phone...."

I suppose my standard reply is, "I'm a piano technician. I tune and repair pianos."

If I am having a longer conversation, I will mention the Guild. "If you want to know more about anything, you need to hang out with people who know more than you do. If you don't hang out with people like that, you not only don't know things, you don't know what you don't know."
