Dear Steinway piano clients,
I am Dr. Akiko Matsumoto, piano technician.I would like you to know about my extensive educational background and 30+ years of experience beginning at the world's top class selective training program Yamaha Piano Technical Academy from which I graduated in 1990. I moved to NY in 1994 and have been working with Steinway as an A level senior piano technician for Steinway clients, including concert pianists, also worked as a concert technician for Manhattan School of Music and for ProPiano concert rental pianos. At the same time, I studied music education, acoustics, psychology of music, interactive technology and cognitive science. B.M.T., M.P.S., New York University; Ed.D., TC at Columbia University. I am now an owner of NY Piano Tech LLC.
I enjoy an excellent reputation for the quality and precision of my work in piano voicing, regulation and concert level tuning. Another of my strengths, noted by teachers, students and pianists, is my unique ability to prepare and customize each piano to match the pianist’s specifications and personal preferences. I value and make a point of being sensitive and listening to the needs of both the piano owner and piano. I regularly prepare concert pianos for performance venues such as Lincoln Center,Carnegie Hall,Blue Note. Although the Steinway Hall retail piano aftercare service is closed now, I will continue working with the Steinway factory, parts department, restoration department and its sales representatives.
I can guarantee, and will continue to offer you, the same or better service for you and your piano. My flexibility will enable me to service your piano on weekends and evenings, as well, if desired.
Please feel free to contact me directly regarding your piano service needs and any questions.
Yours truly,
Akiko Matsumoto, Ed.D.
