The glue falling off was making me so anxious. I breathed I sigh of relief when he caught it. Pulse pounding tech vids.
Yeah high stakes, I stopped breathing.
This is a must video for anyone who is tech manager for a show with rental rhodes. Wish I had taken the time before but next time I can get it to much better shape in 30 minutes. Thanks a lot!
Thank you, am working on refurbing a 1973 Fender Rhoades (73-key). I'm putting together a list on your commerce site now. Terrific camera work and explanation.
This video is fantastic... thanks so much for sharing. This guy seems like a good teacher, I'd like to learn more about repairing pianos from him
The completed depth of this video is an extraordinary resource. Thank you!!
This video is priceless! Thanks so much for making it
I’m working on restoring a 78 Mark I, so I don’t have to do the miracle mod, but this is great! Very informative. I had a friend (who’s worked on several) basically explain this all to me before I started, but this video is helpful in his absence!
Thank you!✊
An amazing video. Thank you so much for sharing
i jui just bought one. . . a 73 mark 1, and now your giving me everything. . i just created an account on your website.. .now i'll be able to get all the things i'll need to get it grooving
Thank you!!!!!
for the hammer tips, you include super glue with the kit but the video shows a different glue. What is the recommended glue?
Could you elaborate on how you straighten the key posts? I see you just using a bit of brute force at 3:14, is that safe for every key or just for the low A? Thanks!
On acoustic pianos. Too much glue sometimes makes a click after drying.
An may harden the felt.
Are there no felts on that balance rail? I see him adding punchings, but not replacing felt.
Damn,i'll stick to playing lol,super impressive refurb,I want your business.
Can someone elaborate on why you don't want the key to touch the front rail felt on key press? I am piano technician and this is quite different from acoustic piano but I don't understand why. Thanks.
I think because that would impede the key pedestal from engaging the hammer completely to the tine thus not allowing the felt to engage a full mute....my guess.
i love you.. . .a lot. . .
Where does the metal block with the #37 thats being used for the tone bar escapement measurements come from? It's not in the refurb kit
I was thinking the same thing (and you prob figured it out already) but I realized it's a tine. I disconnected the one from the lowest tone bar (the little bolt takes a 3/8" wrench or socket) and used it to set all my escapements :)
Did anybody notice that he put the lowest bass note damper on vertically or am I mistaken?
Doen't adding in the key felt to the miracle mod maladjust the stop block?
I need to know that too! Vintage Vibe?
As the felt is being applied to the bump as well as the braking surface of the pedestal, the relation between those surfaces and the hammer cam remains the same. It is always good practice to check your work before going on to repeat it dozens of times, and so a test with felt is prudent.
Dude, I could learn to be Rhodes repairman and fix these pianos myself. The thing is, there aren't many of these pianos in my country.
is there something i can do to keep my tines in good shape and prevent oxidation?
dehumidifier
How long should it take someone who has never done this before to complete this task?
I just did the key leveling step last night, took me two hours to do that alone.
@@no_talking Doing this soon. I guess he just did the low a and high c and left out all the others to keep the video short? He doesn't really explain either what he uses to heighten/level the keys. Is it paper washers, is it felt washers?
@@shavesinthedark I used paper washers
On pianos you use paper and felt. Put felt on first add paper punching to level. Then turn all the punchings over. The felt would be on top.
