Very solemn moment. Unboxing a new piece of gear at home rates right up there with sex or the first bite of the perfect piece of pizza. I remember the day I brought my Rhodes Mark II home from West L.A. Music in Hollywood when it was located across from Graumanns Chinese Theatre. After stopping in, playing it and chatting with Charlie the salesman for about three months, I had finally saved up the obscene amount of money required to buy my first real keyboard. The twenty minute drive home took days. The excitement, the smell (the explosion of Tolemyte once the box was opened) and finally that mesmerizing sound that for my whole life, I’d only ever heard on the radio or my record player, now originated from my room! Yeah, I was with you the whole unboxing, brother. BTW, that little slice of Michael heaven was an extremely respectful tip of the hat. Well done, Sir. I was inspired to pick up my guitar and learn it as you were playing. It came easy. The spirit of the music was here, today. Can I get an Amen?!!! That was a sweet

As a tech who has serviced the electronics in the Fender Rhodes, back in the day, I can say for certain, having seen the new one at Synthfest last year, that the new build quality is on a whole different level to the Fender models. Quality and I think a passion for the machine, too.
@hodgheg Жыл бұрын
As a former owner of a 1980's Mark 3 which was built in Mexico to (I thought) a very poor standard I'd certainly hope so. I very much hope the new Rhodes finds a market though personally I won't be paying out £8000 for it. I'm in love with my Nord Grand which does a nice imitation and plenty more, which might be a problem for the new Rhodes; you've got to love it to pay out so much for a one-trick pony.

@paulrhodesquinn 4 ай бұрын
@@hodghegI also have the Nord. The Rhodes sounds aren’t comparable to this. I own a Rhodes Mk1 Stage 73 I’ve gigged with for many years, but after it got soaked at Glastonbury it stays in the studio now! If I had a spare £8,000 I’d love one of these but as a working musician that’s not likely to happen, especially with gig and session fees the way they are now 😢

Nothing sounds like a Fender Rhodes. I have memories of this sound from a very young age, when my father had and played one. We were talking about this very recently, and he said himself that the sound of the Rhodes was one he really liked. And he's always been picky about his piano sound... And to top it off, he plugged it into a Leslie cabinet 😯

Beautiful instrument, when you unwrapped it, I was already thinking: "What? No red lid?!?", but of course, that came afterwards. But... That strong voice of 11-years-old MJ... Got me completely emotional, I like your subtile Rhodes accompaniment really over the original Motown production: it gives so much more room to this superb and powerful kid's voice! Love it! ❤ BTW: if you're getting low on space, be careful putting your keyboard instruments too close to each other: they might replicate... 😉

There are two "reference" sounds for Fender Rhodes in my head: Jan Hammer's intro to "Miles Beyond" by the Mahavishnu Orchestra and the first verse of Gary Wright's "Dream Weaver" played by David Foster. My music collection has many other examples of great Rhodes playing but those two stick out. I bought a beat-up Stage 73 in the early 1990s for restoration and I got pretty far with it - I even fabricated new polyurethane hammer tips according to "hot rod" hardnesses. I had the harp frame and tone bars replated early in the process. But it seemed like each step I needed to take got progressively harder to accomplish and I eventually sold it.
