This is basically about love for the instrument. Thank you Harold Rhodes and thank you Vintage Vibe.

This is so great! What a validation to see his reactions!

Just like have Mr. Rhodes in person once again, incredible!

Thanks Chris and Fred for making this video for the whole Rhodes community cause there’s some true shit right there and sure Harold was a genius and a serious creator nice to hear Dave talked about his dad I could feel some emotion thanks again ❤

A magical story --- I bought my 73 in (about) 1973.... I now understand why I have never had to "touch" mine.... Dismantled it when I got it, fine sanded the keys to reduce friction, gave it dose of talcum powder and then silicon spray ( new product in those days) and have only tweaked the tuning once since.... quality wins!

Fantastic, thank you. His reaction to the variable tone control is just amazing.

The balanced action was something that I knew he would appreciate, but I just knew that from an engineering standpoint he would love the elegance of that variable tone control. Great video, glad you could have him!

Absolutely one of the coolest things I've ever seen. R.E.S.P.E.C.T!

THIS MADE MY DAY!! Thanx! Wow! The truth right from the horses mouth. Been trying to track down Dave and his brother for 25 plus years. Just WOW!!

What a wonderful visit that must have been, best wishes to all

This is absolute gold. I could listen to this all day. Cheers from NZ

That is so inspiring and cute!

Very cool!

What a lovely, lovely chap. 👍

Loved listening to this one and reading the letter, made my day brighter! Great job y'all! 🐬

This was great to learn about Harold Rhodes from his son and history of the Rhodes pianos and other things. Thanks for the video.

Great video. So heartwarming, and y’all are doing great amazing work. Thank you for preserving this instrument! I’m repairing my Wurly, being so inspired by y’all!! I’ll for sure pickup a vintage vibe keyboard in the next few years!!!

Would love to see the 92 note piano after restoration!! what a crazy piece of history

Sempre gostei deste som de eletric piano ótimo vídeo congratulações

What a wonderful visit! Great job Vintage Vibes! We’re the proud custodians of a Fender-Rhodes mark 1 seventy three, that I restored during pandemic with your parts. Formerly owned by my neighbor, Warren G………who was going to throw it out😱 Greetings from SoCal😎

I think Dave sold me my Rhodes seventy three stage piano in 1978 at Jacks house of music in Sacramento . Is he in nor-cal still ? I still have that piano safely stored in my home on almost new condition . I’ve simply stored it since college . Time to get a new fuse and see what it sounds like !

Dave, if you guys are still in the Sacramento area I live in fair oaks, I would love to pay you to take a peek at mine ! It’s traveled very little, a few family reunions and high school jazz band in 78-81. I’ve kept it store in a temp control den close up in a corner for nearly ;0 year opening and playing it every 5-10 years. I have a baby grand that’s my go to but could never part with this piece . My kids don’t play. I want to leave it open and play some chuck mangione who was my inspiration to buy it .

20:12 that was my reaction t∞

Huh, I didn't know about the damper comb thing. What is the advantage of forgoing the comb and doing the dampers individually?

where to purchase one?
