I just returned from the recording studio. Some disco band is recording. I though disco went out with the 70's, I guess I'm out of the loop. Boogie-oogie-oogie. I tuned a Yamaha they were using and then got to the Rhodes. Relatively speaking it wasn't too bad to start. It is a very old road instrument, (I guess you could call it a "Road Rhodes). It was very well used and should probably have a major overhaul. One by one these old machines are dying and being tossed. I think there is probably a very limited market for them and I doubt it would be very profitable to get into the Rhodes rebuilding business. It had a bit of a stretch on it. It was basically flat-lined up to about F-5 where it began to curve upward to about +20 cents at the very top. That's a little more stretch then I think I would have recommended, (it sounded a little weird), but I didn't have time to get too involved. By the time I finished the Yamaha I only had about 45 minutes to spend with the Rhodes before the band arrived. I just tried to work with what was there and clean it up a bit. I'm sure that it was good enough for disco. Rob Goodale, RPT Las Vegas, NV -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
