Piano Man

Rick Smith is the owner of The Piano Exchange in Glen Cove, NY. We went to his warehouse and interviewed him about his very rare and impressive collection of vintage pianos. Rick has approximately 450 pianos of which he rents, sells, restores and repairs. This is his story about how he came to be such an avid piano collector and all of his interesting experiences he has had as a result.

Rick Smith is a wonderful human being. He saved the life of a single mom 30 years ago buy buying my piano and then ghosting me and never picking it up. Thank you Rick. I have thought of you often. I'll never forget you.
