Rhodes MKI '79 - Wooden keys - Testing after restoration

[pitboss2012]

Fender Bassman is so sick with the pianos

[mootbooxle]

Fantastic tone! I just recently re-voiced my Rhodes after having put it off for too long...mine was voiced very hot and aggressive, but I realised that I really use it for more mellow stuff these days, and use Wurlitzer for harder sounds, so I voiced it to be a lot darker and "older" sounding...more of a Herbie Hancock tone. This is a very nice sound you got here - somewhere in between what I'm describing.

[tyleryesta1]

is that the original top or did you buy that new? looks and sounds awesome!

[blackviolon9]

nice one hand !!!

[mimaxworld]

Why dont ya show your face? Your deserve it to be famous. But i guess you're already working as pro composer/producer or anything like that. Im really stunned!

[Paolo264]

Absolutely amazing sound coming from the Rhodes, sweet, sweet, sweet tone....

[katmusic2006]

this is the 2nd rhodes vid i've seen this morning. love that sound!

[dumnuts1]

did somebody cut off your left hand?

[jbonham78]

sounds very expensive to restore one of these - was it for yours?

[MPOURNOUZIS]

is that  1975 Mark I Stage 73 model?sounds great man...

[tun875]

One handed funkmeister.

[SinetistProductions]

Thats awesome

[fteixeira82]

Great sound.

[organplayer13]

I think that Ghost Song might sound great with this Rhodes!

[Wonka275]

dude, u should totally do riders on the storm w/ that!

[nfguler]

yeah!!!

[AdyPole]

YES.

[geeride]

aweome touch and attack! bring out those high points really nicely!

[azemaitis]

I agree fully with Funkatronical

[DerOlleJo]

Wonderful sound. For me, one of the best music-instruments in the story of Jazz.

Greetings from Germany.

[mooghammondb3]

Sounds beautiful.

[Funkatronical]

too much reverb bro..

[AstroandyQQM]

How can you say too much reverb?

Its what he likes not you..

if he thought it was too much reverb he wouldnt have used as much.

[Funkatronical]

naw needs more cowbell..

[RayManzarekGod]

No such thing as too much reverb!!!!!!!

[MISFITROBBY138]

very nice

[iPig]

You gotta make a Riders On The Storm video with this thing!

[vinyljunkie07]

Agree!

[325C58]

Love the silver top

[ChucklesKeys]

There ain't nothin like the real thang!!! Electronic keyboards try to make that sound, but cannot duplicate the dynamics of a real Rhodes piano. I love mine!!! Have you seen the new ones they are building??? Would love to have one!!! They have MIDI.

[Kanvaz]

True the closes anyone's come is the Lounge Lizard Vst

[oldbrownshoe78]

Did you restore it yourself or did someone do it for you? It sounds great!

[andrenm2]

pretty, pretty, pretty cool

[oeyvindh]

can I call this JAZZ?

[PhuckHue]

there is no comparison with digital keys. The vintage keys will always resonate and sound better.

[Jackrabbit710]

The 4 new rhodes patches on the nord stage mear identical, but your right, nothing can replace the real thing, I almost bought a mk2

[multidex]

that's a great sounding instrument, can i have it?

[gomode301]

sorry, I'm sorta just getting into this, but what sort of amps do you use for your keyboards? and I'm a huge fan of yours. I dig all your videos and I'm subscribed. you're awesome.

[serenities]

Hi, i primarily use a '71 Fender Twin Reverb, this is a great tube amp for organ and definitely for Fender Rhodes pianos and basses as well. Thanks for your kind comment!

[MrJaapKooiman]

@serenities Lol, the Twin Reverb is a tube guitar amp. Rhodes always sound epic on tube guitar amps. Organs don't, basses don't. for that you really should get a Leslie or a bass amp.

[xbladeox]

@MrJaapKooiman An hammond organ sounds great with a marshall jcm 800, jon lord from deep purple did that and his sound became really distorted, recognizable and epic!

So organs can sound good with a tube guitar amp.

[MrJaapKooiman]

@xbladeox Yeah, he used it, but it sounds horrible in my opinion. The only way to make a hammond organ sound nice is to have a rotating speaker.

[piepmaxx]

@serenities are you using an "ordinary" twin reverb? meaning not modified for the use with a keyboard/organ?

[ziribai]

great improvisation! ;)

[redsox0717]

sounds good

[epservice]

netjes hoor!

[xiz90]

Very lovely!
