Elisha Katamura
Registered Piano Technician
I am a piano technician/tuner working in the Fresno and Clovis areas. Blessed to receive formal training in both classical music and piano technology, I approach an instrument as both a technician and a musician. My work begins with interpreting the language and artistry of the pianist, and translating it into a technical application.
My clients have included piano dealers, concert venues, institutions, churches and private homes. Prior to moving to California, I worked with YAMAHA and BÖSENDORFER dealer (Kansas City) and STEINWAY & SONS dealer (Boston).
By working with various piano dealers and manufacturers, I have acquired an extensive understanding of the piano market. This experience enables me to provide unbiased advice to my clients with their best interests as my guiding principle.
I am a REGISTERED PIANO TECHNICIAN with the Piano Technicians Guild. To achieve this designation, I passed a series of rigorous examinations on the maintenance, repair, and aural tuning of pianos. I take full responsibility for my work, providing the highest quality of service for every client with professionalism.
Whether you are a beginner or a concert pianist, I would be honored to be your “piano guy”.
