Rhodes MkII Stage 73

From the time of it’s introduction after WWII (as the very different “Pre-Piano” right up until the last MkV was packed into it’s shipping carton the Rhodes™ piano had long tradition of improvements that made practically every piano different from the next.

While it may be true that no two Rhodes are exactly alike, they are acknowledged to fall in general groupings.  Terms like MkI (mark 1), MkII (mark 2) and so on are used to describe them, and we have specimens from nearly every era, and nearly every model awaiting rebirth in our “boneyard”.

Our Remanufactured Rhodes™ Piano is the true legend reborn.  After being stripped down to it’s most basic parts we litterally remanufacture the piano - from Tolex to Tines it is not just blindly reassembled, but rebuilt to our far more exacting tollerances making it a better instrument then many were when they were brand new.

Here is a list of the minimum services we perform on every Fender Rhodes electric piano we sell:
  • Complete dis-assembly and cleaning, including keys which are cleaned and buffed using the same techniques as a traditional piano shop.
  • Replacement of all grommets (always)
  • Replating of all tonebars (always)
  • Replacement of felts and hammers as necessary
  • Cleaning of coils as needed
  • Regulation of key dip, bushing tension, leveling and spacing
  • Installation of a key lift kit for more responsive action.
  • Full inspection of the bare wood cabinet for integrity of case, repairs and replacement parts as needed.
  • Recovering with new Tolex.
  • Replacement of all hardware. (corners, handles, etc.)
  • Inspection, restoration, and repair of all electronics as necessary.
  • Adjustment of sustain mechanism.
  • Adjustment of tone and volume of each key (Voicing).
  • Professional tuning.

    Hey can you guys recreate the dyno rhodes percussion pedal?

  2. WebMaster Says:

    We could if we could get a physical model to work from. While I know what it was and what it did, I’ve never seen one in person, only on old print ads which lack technical details.

    I have one, complete and in full working order… Take a look at http://www.fenderrhodes.com/history/dyno.php

    What about a wah petal for a keyboard like the sound used by Herbie Hancock on “Chameleon”?
