I used to work on my own Rhodes back in the late 70s so I know how all those parts worked but it was still fascinating to see the one-key version and listen to all of the cool history and details from Ben. Thank you, Anthony! Your channel is awesome!
This is exactly what I love about this channel. You're not just throwing out content, you're mapping out the entire rabbit hole and giving everyone a seat in the engineer's chair. You should crack open a old tonewheel organ next and blow everyone's minds with how they work. Getting under the hood of a Rhodes piano was a process of discovery through necessity for me. I've got an 88-key Suitcase with a serial number of 00054. Found it 10 years ago; it had never really been set up properly, so I had to stretch tune it and give the key dampeners their first bends, etc... There was even a loose woodscrew in there, and many holes from re-positioning the harp assembly. The positioning of the pickups really does drastically change the timbre of the notes.
This was a VERY enjoyable and educational video!!!! (I do remember replacing tines on my Rhodes 73 stage back in the day!) Thank you for this Anthony!!
And now the Mk8 Rhodes is being made a few miles up the road from me in Leeds (UK)! I was suprised to find out they were so local! It's nice to see the instrument carry on.
Such a generous and lovely human being. Anthony, you are GOLD. Thank you for sharing your genius through all your uploads, and for your legacy of incredible work. I learn so much from you sir. ❤ from 🏴.
Anthony your videos are always amazing, you know what would be kinda fun, if you did breakdowns on how to play classic tv theme and how to get the synth sounds, stuff like CHiPs and The Rockford Files. I would seriously love that and anymore you tv theme you can think of. Also another thing that would be cool is show practical ways of incorporating vintage synths into people own music.
Great video! Wow such a small Rhodes lol I noticed you did a little Synclavier programming on the Supertramp album Brother Where You Bound! By any chance in the future could you discuss that it sounds very interesting!
Hi Anthony, nice video. I was reading your musical contributions on your website, and I saw on the list you wrote Falco. Wow, I like Falco music very much. Could you make a video about that contribution or how it sounds, because I tried to look it up on internet and I was unable to find any info about that song. Thanks!
1975 / 1976 mechanism so it’s a MK1. You can tell by the felt on the underside of the hammer cam. Prior and post this period the felt was on the key pedestal 👍🏻
What dr.Mix says @3:26 is not correct. It actually makes no sense at all, and the «correct» reply he gets must have been expressed in distraction. Other than that, this taught me a whole lot about the interconnected ways a Rhodes generates it’s specific sound and how it varies.

Anthony is a legend! And he looks so young! Unbelievable that he worked on Thriller
Anthony Marinelli was only 23 when he worked on Thriller. So it's not surprising that he doesn't look old - he is just in his mid 60s.
@@martinmarheinecke7677I thought he was like 45. Man looks good

What a genius instrument what a genius inventor
3:24 Oh man, all these explanations, the knowledge and history. Thank you Anthony, Ben, Claudio and team! This is for the ages!

too cool. thank you for the look in.

Wish someone would make the Wurly again.
It‘s less nice to see the Mk8 price. My 1975 Mk1 was really cheap in comparison.

Dr Mix and Anthony Marinelli in one video: A fantastic video!
Anthony, i caught your 1:34 joke! haha well played, my friend

+1 for The Rockford Files. Probably my favorite TV theme
I think my favourite is "The Persuaders". Given that John Barry wrote it, it's hardly surprising. 😉
Cool idea 💡
This is absolutely insane. I love finding out more about the rhodes. Being a rhodes technician would be awesome!
Very Awesomely Neato!
Coolest Salesman "Sample" of any type I think I've ever seen.
Thanks again for sharing such wonderful content! 🎵🎵🎵
Watching people that are familiar with electronic instruments, struggle to understand how a pick up works is really interesting
Great demo, nice people. Thanks for this awesome video 👏👍🤩
Another piece of science and culture. Usual high quality. Thanks Anthony!
One must have BOTH a Rhodes and a Wurlitzer though...that's the winning position on the debate.
How about an Anthony Marinelli / Alex Ball collab??? That would also be amazing!
Great video! Wow such a small Rhodes lol
I noticed you did a little Synclavier programming on the Supertramp album Brother Where You Bound! By any chance in the future could you discuss that it sounds very interesting!
Learning Learning 🙏
Great stuff, great insight in to what happends inside
All this time I thought the tuning fork part was the tine and the tine was the pickup.

Great stuff, Anthony! Keep em coming!
I remember this from the Rhodes Supersite. I was about to ask "Is that Ben?"
So interesting. The (Fender) Rhodes - my favourite sounding instrument.
Great video with great information ,thanks !!!!🎹✅
thumbnail game upped 10 🤣levels
Wow, who knew? Great video, thanks!
Fascinating engineering.
Thanks
That's cool
David Guetta piano!!!!! nearly fell of my chair!
Fascinating as usual! 😎😎
It looks like Rhodes Mark V's mechanism. Mark V has longer throw (distance between hammer tip and tine) than the previous model.

@@turn1ablist Ah OK! Nice to know
I want to hear that plugged in lol 😋
