The classic Fender Rhodes® Electric Piano is one of the foundational instruments of popular music. Capturing that “holy grail” early '70s Mark I tone (along with all the funky releases and mechanical noises) became our passion. The end result is really something special and we are thrilled that this classic is featured in all its glory as part of Keyscape!
The classic Fender Rhodes® Electric Piano is one of the foundational instruments of popular music. The Rhodes® piano action causes its hammers to strike tines (tuned metal rods) which are attached to more substantial metal tonebars for sustain. The sound is amplified by electro-magnetic pickups routed to an active pre-amp in the Suitcase models. Since the Rhodes® comes from the Southern California area - where Spectrasonics is also based - this gave us special access to the top experts in the world. Capturing that “holy grail” early '70s Mark I tone (along with all the funky releases and mechanical noises) became our passion. The end result is really something special and we are thrilled that this classic is featured in all its glory as part of Keyscape!
