HIROKI   UCHINO                                                        Registered Piano Technician
Japan Piano Technicians Association                                                                                                                               

Hiroki is a Canadian Citizen with 18 years experience specializing in distinguished upright and grand pianos, many of which have been in the Vancouver area.

He was born in Japan and began training in the eminent CHUBU TECHNICAL ACADEMY OF MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS, studying tuning, regulation and classical music studies. Following graduation, he was employed in a prominent restoration and piano dealership in Mito, Japan, working with the Master Technician Mr. Arai for three and a half years.

This period provided the foundation for Hiroki's expertise.

He later relocated to Vancouver, perfected his techniques as a re-builder, immigrating on the strength of his extraordinary ability as a piano technician and acquired many years experience, in this exacting and precise field.

As senior tuner/technician for six years at Vancouver's premier piano dealer, and now independent, he is constantly in demand as one of the most experienced and highly competent specialists in Lower Mainland area.

He passed the JPTA examination, becoming a registered technician, and studied the latest Shigeru Kawai techniques in the Hamamatsu factory. In 2012 he was chosen by Kawai America Corporation to attend the Shigeru Kawai Master Technician Seminar in Los Angeles. Unlike many technicians, he is familiar with most of the classical repertoire, and plays to concert level when there is time.

Hiroki is able to interpret and realize the clients requirements punctually and efficiently, whether a distinguished international artist or adult beginner, which comes as naturally as does the everyday quest for perfection.
