Kevin Stock is Concert Technician and Instructor of Technical Training & Education at Steinway & Sons Headquarters in New York City. Although his dream was to be a concert pianist, changing circumstances and the ability to adapt to the unexpected twists and turns of life led him to what many would describe as an ultimate achievement in the world of piano tuning: employment at Steinway headquarters in New York City as a tuner of their pianos for high profile concerts in venues such as Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center and as a teacher of other tuners.

While he graduated from Southern Colorado University with an undergraduate degree in piano, most of his study was at Union College. An injury following graduation ruled out a career as a piano performer. An interest in tuning led to completion of a piano technician training program at Western Iowa Tech Community College and employment in a number of positions, each with increased responsibility. With the advancements came recognition and finally the offer from Steinway in 1997.
