Fender Rhodes Mark I Stage 73 Electric Piano, 1975, Complete

Hit the Rhodes with this true classic from the golden era of electric pianos! This 1975 Fender Rhodes Mark I Stage 73 delivers the unmistakable warm, bell-like tone that defined countless recordings from the ‘70s onward, heard on records by artists like Herbie Hancock, Stevie Wonder, and Chick Corea. The Mark I series, particularly mid-1970s examples like this one, is prized for its balance of warmth, clarity, and dynamic range.

Built during one of the most desirable periods of Rhodes production, this example features the sought-after wood harp supports and classic Mark I construction, contributing to its rich tone and dynamic response.

Unlike later models, this era retains much of the original build character that made the Rhodes a studio staple—lush chords, percussive attack, and that unmistakable “bark” when pushed.

This piano is in excellent condition, with clean cosmetics and a strong, even voice across the keyboard. The tines are in great shape with no breaks, and the instrument plays beautifully with no functional issues. Light wear, especially as compared to similar models. Slight bulge on plastic top piece.

This is a beautiful, ready-to-play vintage Rhodes that captures everything players love about these instruments.

Whether you're chasing vintage studio tones, gigging with a legendary keyboard, or adding a cornerstone piece to your collection, this Rhodes delivers.
