[BassGuyGG]

This sounds good but it will never make me give up my '74 Mark I.

[crosxtalk]

Very 70s (and early 80s) sounding.

[MrPitruPolchana]

Got the new Mark 7. Better than the original. All the notes sound good if you know what you're doing. I had it tuned by a professional that knew how to BLEND the keyboard. All the Mark 1's come with their inherent problems. This is a much improved keyboard when tuned well. If you think this sounds like a synth, then go back to your plug in. Nothing sounds like a real Rhodes with tines and tonebars. You can't make a mechanical Rhodes wound like a synth and vice versa. You need real ears.

I personally think they should have stayed with the tradition of roman numerals... Mark VII just looks elegant! :D

An amazing instrument, nonetheless!

Magnífico !!

@gospelsoulman Couldnt agree more!! Stephen King's reference to such things fell under what he called Kulture Americana. (maybe he heard that somewhere, thats just where i heard it) but I thought the Rhodes n the B3 fell into that category. Hell, we dont have much else, except maybe jazz and mud wrestling.
