This is a fully serviced 1976 Rhodes Stage 88 from the first year of Rhodes production. Like all of our fully restored instruments, action components have been restored but we decided to leave this one with a 'Rhode-worn' vintage look from its small tears in its tolex. (Special Offer: New tolex and is offered to our Reverb.com customers at $500).
This Rhodes has buttery smooth action, and unlike the cosmetic condition of the tolex the keys are in near mint condition. We will post sound samples soon so please stay tuned!
As with all of our Rhodes restorations, the key bed has been completely leveled, regulated and setup for the proper height of the black keys and 13/32" of key dip throughout the keyboard. All of the hammer tips, grommets, and pedestal felts have been replaced and it plays and sounds even better than when it left the Rhodes factory in Fullerton, CA! Its voicing and tone are fully serviced for the ideal level of harmonics and equal voicing across the 73 keys. --Most players don't believe that Rhodes pianos are capable of expressive action like this!
All of my fully restored pianos come with a two year warranty on parts and electronics (under reasonable use) and one free standard tuneup within two years. The price is $1,899 or best cash offer.
If you would like to try out this Rhodes for yourself you can reach me at any reasonable hour of the day at (312)476-9528. We have a handful of other Rhodes Pianos that are in different stages of the restoration process that you are also welcome to check out.
Trade-ins are welcome! We will offer $300-1,000+ off for trade-ins on Wurlitzers, Clavinets, or Rhodes depending on their condition.
