Shitty video, but good information! 😉 👍 I've just recently gotten the Rhodes bug (I don't have one yet), but I'd been contemplating how to tune the beast & came up with a similar idea as yours on how to do it. One thing I've been thinking about trying is tuning all the Tines just a _little bit_ Sharp, but then swabbing the tuning springs with alcohol, then 'fixing' them in place with a dab of nail polish - to better Lock the springs in place & the extra mass of the nail polish adding to the Tine/Spring mass & lowering the tone of the Tine... Wouldn't hurt to try it! The idea of nail polish is to work as a "Lock" for the spring - to reduce the need to retune the Tine as frequently... 🤔 👌
+steven glass Unfortunately I don't have one of these pianos, so let me see if I understand this correctly. You have the little vibrating rod with a tiny spring on the end of it, and you are moving the spring up or down the rod using a twisting + pushing/pulling motion. Correct?
Hi, i'v got a MK II and a black note (one of the high Bflat) is out of tune. But to tune it I have to push the spring nearly out the thing, like it's too short, and when i play, I guess the spring is moving and the note does'nt work after a while. Does anyone have a solution ? TY, Ben
Hi friend, if you have facebook, please post your question on the fender rhodes fan page. There is a lot of techs who post on there can answer your question.
not necessary. Some charge close to $1000 for so called "adjustments''. There's a manual and plenty of videos on the internet to tweak and get it sounding good.
My God, I wanna puke...
Me too and I made it
Thanks a lot for the input ! I've totally forgotten I can lift the tines' board and this makes tuning hugely easier !!!
thanks for this no nonsense informative video
Thanks man!
Cool!
THANKS MAN
genius！！！！！！！
"Preferred nomenclature" 😎
This is still easier than tuning an accordion
'Choades' lol

I couldn't quite tell what/how you were twisting and pushing on the little springs.
pretend you are unscrewing the tire pressure cap on your car while pushing up or pulling down on the spring

HI, ty you for your response, problem solved
Now just take the hole Rhodes to a qualified tech for all the other adjustments. Every Rhodes needs this for sure.
