Dave Campbell

Dave Campbell grew up in a household full of music, with both grandmothers being piano teachers and his father a professional piano player. With such a strong musical background, it was no surprise that Dave became a professional musician, making it his career until his early 30s. Dave also had a strong interest in engineering and merged both passions by entering the piano industry. He worked for Kimball Pianos before being hired by Charlie Kaman to help form Carrier Pianos in North Carolina. After building the factory and running operations, he was hired by his long-time friend, Peter Perez, to run the Aeolian Corporation of America in Memphis, Tennessee. Dave later worked with Pratt-Reed and Pearl River, where his skills in quality control helped elevate the Ritmüller piano brand.
