  • In this video I take my new Rhodes Mk8 for a spin. Is this a modern classic or a poor imitation. Let me know what you think in the comments below.

    They were rocking one of these at Synthfest a few days ago, does sound marvelous.
    On a Dulcitone note - I spoke to the granddaughter of Thomas Machel a while back and she had a photo of them stood outside their shop in Glasgow about 100 years ago. Nice to put some faces to the Dulcitone story. I'll have to dig it out.

    The custom Rhodes engineered MK8 analogue preamp features parametric EQ, independent drive, envelope control, wah, new vari-pan with 4 waveshapes, audio rate modulation capabilities and dual expression pedal control inputs. True analogue signal path.

    I too am pleased to see you posting again. I have been thinking of you in the interim, weirdly some might think but given that we've met and chatted and also because i've watched a hundred of your videos, perhaps it's not so weird. It has been like when you've heard a school mate has had a horrible accident. Hope all close to you are well too.

    I always secretly hoped you’ll do a The Blue Nile deep dive ever since your move to Scotland, the excellent Castle Sound creative cribs episode and Solstice. Your love of synths and your excellent taste in music will eventually make this inevitable, won’t it? For a while there I was afraid we’d not meet again. But look who’s back! Mister Henson, welcome back. My hope of some day watching you do a remake of “Walk Across The Rooftops” with Solstice strings and your synth arsenal has been restored. ❤

    I own a 1972 Mk1a with the Buzz Watson stamp on it. The action is very unresponsive but the sound is amazing. I’ve owned and played on Rhodes since 1976 and it’s easily the best sounding one. I prefer the raw sound of mine to what I am hearing here. The advantage of this newer model is the huge improvement in the action and all the great processing onboard. You can do so much more with the newer model.

    Hey Christian,
    Thanks for all you do.
    I’ve been having a lot of issues with my mk8, a lot of buzz and barely any sound coming out at times, and seemingly no buzz when compared side by side to my Wurlitzer, on the same power bar and the same amp input. Very strange.
    The Mk8 was seemingly working a little better when it first arrived but the buzz has been persistent and not circumventable regardless of where it’s being plugged into or volume levels - no other instrument of mine has the same issue.
    Have you experienced anything similar?
