I was so amazed at the Rhodes electric piano as a kid, and equally amazed by the dyno sound. I really wish that the service or kits can be available again, together with the tri-chorus. Thank you chuck for inspiring my music creation. I wish you good health.
So fascinating! I love hearing the stories! I only found out about "Dyno My" when I worked at a Music Store in the 90's. My manager/mentor was a keyboard player from the 60's and 70's, he told me about how you could have a Rhodes "dialed in" with that service. After learning about it, it's very interesting how the FM synths in the 80's seemed to model the "Dyno My" sound and not a factory style sounding Rhodes!! I wish this service was still available! I own 2 older Rhodes pianos, a late 60's Stage 88 and a MkIII from the later 80's with the Fender cabinet. I can only imagine how the Suitcase model I have would sound with a Dyno My Mod!! Thanks for this series!!!
When Chuck mentions Buz.............the whole Video lifted to another Level. I am one of , i don't know HOW many that have a Buz Watson Stage 73. it is from 1972. i did find it in 2018 from a G.C. in St Louis. they shipped it Upside down on a pallet ,halfway sled off .......I got it on it's Feet. And there it was, Tolex rough, but it has the 'Buz Thing' needed a lot of work. cleaned the tines , put new Grommets,Hammertips and Felts etc etc 🙂 We all are thankful to Harold and his Vision. And for sure to you Chuck, Hot Roddin' these beauties. I enjoyed as a young musician the Sounds from all the records where they used your Modified Rhodes'. Question, you worked with George Duke ? Thank you for shedding a little bit of light onto the Rhodes Story
Very cool! Love this. I'm learning piano became and interested in how sounds are created for digital pianos and sampling software. I realized that songs by Sergio Mendes and others which I always thought were Yamaha DX7 EP sounds, were actually a Dyno'd Rhodes. A Dyno'd Rhodes was likely the inspiration for the Yamaha sounds.
Such an awesome piece of history to get the word straight from the man. I just bought a Dyno’d 1973 Fender Rhodes to really study what he did because I’m a Rhodes Tech in the Seattle Area. I’m going to look at the dampers on mine to see if I can understand exactly what he did.
Hey chuck nice to hear you talk about the story of the Dyno piano I remember back in 1980 I had a mark 2 stage with a really bad action and when the yellow jackets delivered their second album I was totally obsessed by the Dyno I dreamed of having one but I opted for a 88 suitcase that I still have it Chuck you are a genius thank you
I notice Chuck's Rhodes in tipped backward. I know that was a popular thing to do when standing and playing. But what about when playing seated? Does that angle affect the physics of the hammer action at all?
It would be so cool to see Chuck actually doing what he’s explaining at 18:23 ❤

Once again, such a joy to listen to Chuck telling the Dyno story! Superb!

That would have been the E Rhodes.
I can’t wait to see the development of TSC 618
This is fascinating. Thanks for the video !
It's so great to, once again hear the stories and witness the same 'Monte' passion that created what might be considered a perfect musical instrument.
