  • "...Then we take the shaft... and twist it at the base..." Hahaha.

  • 6:50 Hall and Oates!

  • Emery cloth soaked in kerosene is the best way. I had a friend who works at the Swedish National Heritage Board that restores and preserves historical materials.

    He took a tine to the experts there, who replied that the correct and most gentle way to clean a tine is by using emery cloth soaked in kerosene.

  • Emery cloth works great also. I had some rusty tuning and tonebar support springs that had some rust on them. That commercial liquid -CLR- works great to rid the springs of rust. I poured a little into a plastic butter tub and put the springs in over night. Nest day a little brushing with a an old stiff toothbrush got rid of the rust. IMPORTANT!!! Use vinyl gloves to protect your hands.

  • 7:10 -

    those dampers look really nasty, or were they made this way?

  • These vintage vibe videos are awesome! Thanks so much for posting them. Going to be trying to do some minor repairs on my own Rhodes and these videos will be really helpful.

  • take time for a tine! and huge of it they needed! amazing work guys!

  • @samiegfunk1: Both the Fender Rhodes Super site and Vintage Vibe's site offer downloadable tine length charts that can be printed out.

  • what does cleaning the tins do?

  • can you clean the tines with the scotch brite if you just leave them on the harp, lifted up, but still intact?
