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:
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.
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.
