You are so beautiful - on Fender Rhodes

It's a small , 3min improvisation over the You are so beautiful tune. Tempo is deliberately a bit relaxed.

Sorry about the sound quality, I'll try to re-record this one with better sound.

how much do I have to pay to have a thing like this? I want to play keyes so much, and I love the rhodes sound.

@PhototropicLemon

It depends where you live and how much luck you have finding a bargain... prices range from 100€ to 1500€

Hey, just getting to the 17 second I knew it was a great rendition. Great cords. Congratulations.

@jackson92186

And could you elaborate the differences between a fender rhodes and a "just a straight up" rhodes? I'm particularly interested in technical differences.

In 1975. they dropped the "fender" from "fender rhodes" because of marketing reasons. It made no difference in the mechanics of Mark I, nor later Mark II, except for the back nameplate ( which obviously got changed to "Rhodes" instead of "Fender Rhodes" )

What a groovy sound

[jackson92186]

@ivanpela not a big difference. I'm just pointing out a distinction which is commonly omitted when referring to a rhodes. Most of the changes to the mark I model came in 1977; I'm not sure when your keyboard was made.

It's a 1980 Mark II, stage piano. The are no effects on the recording, I just recorded what could be heard in the air. Rhodes -> amp, that's it. It's a beautiful instrument, it brings the best out of my playing every time I sit at it.
