> [@Maxhirez](#): > > Anybody know if disinfectant is corrosive to non-lead contacts? A quick googling says “maybe”: “[Disinfectants containing acids, alkalis, electrolytes and hypochlorites can adversely affect metal parts and cause corrosion. Disinfectants containing organic solvents can damage plastic.](https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/safety/documents/bio-gm5-disinfectant.pdf)” As for the need for disinfectants, CDC says: “[Coronaviruses are generally thought to be spread most often by respiratory droplets.

This showed up at my door today: ![rhodes](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/lookmumnocomputer/original/1X/cba706811553003e18016ecffadd79a9eb2fabb2.jpeg) It works great, but has a couple of notes that need tuning. Has anyone here ever worked on a Rhodes piano? ---

Tuning a Rhodes can be a breeze or fiddly f\*\*\* Never seen two in the same condition. Go very slowly. Don’t get suckered by "original parts " sellers. Component values are what they are and many ‘new’ parts are better made and easier to fit than original. It’s a great instrument not a classic car rebuild. Others may disagree with this less than purist approach. Enjoy Best attitude for tuning is “near enough for jazz!” ---

Yeah, it’s near enough for jazz right now, so I think I’ll leave it alone. Definitely not taking a purist approach, I’ve got it running into looper/delay/compression on my synth: ![rhodes_and_rig](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/lookmumnocomputer/original/1X/77e6f0b37b9d9601ec361782eb87aa4177187139.jpeg) I know it’s a lot of gear, but I don’t own much else 🙂 ---

Add a chorus or phaser and you can even starve it of power (carefully). Id be happy just to have the piano. Enjoy Btw. Do you have the pedal? I don’t see it. ---

I’ve seen many home made that work well. Even one that was a hole punch pedal and a brass curtain rod! Google and fudge one. All the real mechanics are in place. ---

My experience with them is limited but i do know that they can definitely be fiddly, when i was a tour tech we used to send them off to someone who knew what they were doing 🤪 ! Can’t remember who, but if i do, I’ll post it. ---

Aluminum, probably 1.5x thicker than Sams panels. ---

Ohhhhhh I want one just for styling! Even a broken one where I would have to replace the entire inside with something else would do me. That thing looks awesome! Hope it sounds good too ---

It’s a lot of fun to run it through an Echo Rec and frequency analyzer. I blew up the main output power so just run out the headphone jack into my pedalboard and melt the shit out of it. ---
