75’ and 76’ stage or suitcase models were very good years for the Rhodes. CBS must’ve had a good crew then. I had a 76’ stage that I bought from a high school a few towns over. It was very dynamic, rich, and warm sounding. Nice overhaul man. It’s tedious work with a lot of it key by key, but it’s rewarding in the end. I stopped gigging with mine after the hours of work I put into it. Every time I took it out I’d notice a new scratch or it would sound different to me. Not worth it, save em for recording.
Would love to have that sweet Rhodes. Good job making this video. It's a good idea to test key pedestal bump size before you commit cutting them with a set up harp. That way you can avoid them being too big and having the hammer cam kiss them when falling back for re-strike = double strike.
וואו! פשוט וואו. איזה באמצע תהליך ו-וואו!
תודה אורי! הכלי הזה וואו.

Mine for studio work only.
Yes, I LOVE the tone!
It’s funny, in some circles 1975-1976 pianos have a bad reputation. 🤷♂️
Top student :)

Incredible!!
That's what I call a true TLC, well done great patience and dedication, did your kid start playing as well, naturally?
Thanks!
Amazing, great job!! I'm curently restoring and early '76 and I'm not sure what hammer tips should I choose. Which ones did you install?
Thanks!
I used vintage vibe’s six zone but extended it to actually seven zone by using wooden core tips for the highest register.
