Dear Speakeasy,
I’m very interested in buying a mk1 fender rhodes electric piano. Do you ever ship to the UK ?
Kindest regards

It would really need to be evaluated by a technician to know it value. One that is worn outside is going to be worn inside, but the pretty ones aren’t always so pretty when viewed with a critical eye toward it’s inner workings.

That being said, the only real barometer for what to ask for it would be to seek out what they’ve sold for recently in your area (which can also have an impact on value). And then take into account that at this point, with no cable, you don’t know if the electronics are good, not so good, or completely dead.

I have a Fender Rhodes 73 sold to me by a friend 15 years ago. It has all of the parts except the cable. I haven’t really opened it or used it. Whats the best way to sell it? How can I get an estimate of how much to price it for?

They might need this sort of attention if they are treated harshly and the performer wants every note dead on like a digital (yuk) but realistically they rarely need a full tuning, you usually end up keeping up with it by nudging the tuning on the one or two notes that slip out every now and again.

So, I guess it comes down to your tolerance for “out of tune-ness” as it were – some degree of which is actually desirable as it makes it sound fuller – perfect tuning is very “flat” sounding.
