Excellent video! Thank you for taking the time to show us your work. One question: what effect does adjusting the hammer height have? This is not mentioned in the Rhodes manual. Also how does the electric tape hold up ofer the years? Thank you again. Phantastic work.
@goldphinga Thanks for this very helpful video. I just have a question about the recommended sequence for restorations. I'm about to install new damper arms and felts on a 79 Mark II. Once I am done with the dampers and I've set the tone bars and springs at the correct height, what do you do next? Do you work in this order: set optimal strike line, adjust escapement, adjust voicings to taste and then finally tune each key? I know these things have to be done multiple times over but I wasn't quite sure in what order. I would be very grateful for any advice.🎹
This series is amazing for all Rhodes owners out there. Beautifully shot too. Keep it up!

Great video series, thanks a lot for that, very helpful! Where can we get the official spares kit? Currently not listed on the website.
@@martinkasper8047 they are on the website under the Rhodes Essentials section.
@ ah ok, I thought there was a special mixed kit for giggin maintenance.
How much do you charge to do the work
I wish you had spent more time on the actual Key and Hammer leveling.
I’ll be doing a deeper dive on this soon. This is meant as a general overview of concepts but I hear you!
@@goldphinga I have a mid-70's 73 that I think someone built from leftover parts. I'm definitely watching the series. Thanks
