I'm seriously obsessed with the Rhodes. Such a distinct vibe with the soft, warm bass matched against the clear and bright trebley keys. The ultimate gray, rainy day instrument

@@VintageKeysStudio Ah didn't catch that one, nice coincidence
Thanks for showing us. Never knew what was going on inside. What a great idea by Mr Rhodes. There woulda never been “Riders on The Storm” without it.
Ahh, the Rhodes is my favorite instrument. And I love your voice. Reminds me of Matt Berry giving a Rhodes instruction.
11:02 Tantalizing trip to the transducer! Thanks!
I was a bass player in jazz ensemble in middle and high school. We had Wurlitzer’s at both schools. I do not play piano, but was so envious of the schools that could afford the Rhodes pianos. What a glorious sound. When I hear that sound I have to pull out Paul Simon’s Still Crazy After all these Years, so good……..
Thank you - yes it’s a wonderful sound, and that’s a brilliant album!
A perfect English speaker with a perfect RP pronunciation talking about a perfect piano of the perfect 70s
Thank you! Perfectly splendid
Fantastic instrument like an another analog huge star: Hammond!
Thank you so much this super demonstration! 👍
Thanks for the video! I love that this piano is still alive and getting used. I bet it's had a more interesting life than most people.
The Fender Rhodes instantly reminds me of Billy Preston with The Beatles. I love the Get Back recordings. I always assumed that it didn't need tuning because I thought the tines were like tuning forks and always gave perfect pitch.
Thanks, interesting, i like the reverb too
Huge thanks! I'm appreciate this kind of both educational and entertaining insights into legendary instruments of music history. To see the little tuning springs was yet interesting - because without a knob tuning tend to be a different job. And the implementation of the "boost" function let me smile. Also my first time to encounter an echo plate - I'm impressed and must confess a tremendous gap in my knowledge about studio setups. Great sounding combination in every case. Good to know your thumb is recovered again. All the best :-)!
Wonderful. Thank you for sharing this video and making my day by doing so.
Sorry to hear you've not been well. Like the Rhodes. Borrowed one a couple of tumes for outdoor gigs back un the dy. (Limited mains available & easier to move than a real piano!)
Love the Rhodes sound. Great presentation. Very enjoyable.
Thank you!
And we finally get to see after you teasing us with private vids the last few days! Lovely and informative as always!
Ahh sorry we had some gremlin problems with this one
@@VintageKeysStudio not to worry, these things happen with the internet! The new plate reverb sounds great btw!
Loved that! Have a great day!
I was waiting for this
Wonderful
Countless hits have the characteristic Rhodes sound - and in many genres.
You are quite right
Very Jazz Club!
Nice
I give a like :) I like your gear. Plate reverb and Trace elliot bass cab :)
Nice JZ mic there, I have a few
I'm looking to buy one,what should I look out for,you're videos are always a treat thank you❤❤❤
Thank you - check out www.fenderrhodes.co.uk
Believe it or not, I didn't know it had mechanical parts... I thought it worked like a synth 😅
That's why we're here! To enlighten and delight.
Yeah now I know why it’s so big durr
Tell us about the reverb please. Thanks for the informative video
Yes it’s on our list to do
Hi cool video Fender Rhodes Suitcase 73 Mk1 any good ?
My friend just dropped round his Rhodes 88, I am going to try and fix it up, the top notes don't work, I can't fathom how the pickups are wired, they seem to be some in parallel, some in series, very strange. I'm guessing at least one is open circuit. Strangely the bottom few notes of the 88 don't seem to have resonator bars.
You have a ground problem with your harp.
can you explain the end with the piece of metal
Stay tuned - we will do a video on our home made plate reverb soon.
Maybe you should try the Deagan 515 Electravibes (1970) next! (or the Weltmeister Claviset 200 (1960) or the Lowrey L2 Wandering Genie (1978))
They are all in our collection ready and waiting for their 15 minutes of fame!
@@VintageKeysStudio I can't wait to see them in action!
Nice vid ! Do you know where we can find a vintage vibe mod implementation video ? 😇
I am sure vintage vibe will have it on their site, on the pages where you buy the parts / kit
The Rhodes input always looks a bit in the way. Do you bump the cord with your hand often while playing the lower keys?
Use a cable with a right angle plug
What's the point of the wires with the little coil spring on them? You mention tuning?
I thought the pitch would come only from the weight and size of the tonebars and that the Rhodes would never require tuning, like a glockenspiel or a marimba wouldn't...
The rods (wires) with coils on are the tines, which are the basis of the sound. The key hits it and causes it to vibrate. The coils act as clips to alter the vibrating length of the tine, similar to the way that a finger on a stringed instrument causes the notes to vary. The coils are really only for fine tuning, but it is possible to go plus or minus a few semitones on each note. The tonebars are used for resonating the vibrations , but they themselves don’t vibrate when they are struck.
hi, great vid! may I ask how are you exciting the metal plate?
It’s using an 8 ohm exciter glued onto the centre of the plate
@@VintageKeysStudio thank you!!! I'll look into it
Lazlo from What We Do in the Shadows hahaha
Your name is Grawfty Pantsersons?
Today it’s Weird Sue
Wow.... so it's basically a guitar and a bass with keys, if you were playing them with a felt pick... uhhhh, ish...
