Shameless self-plug / Looking for input

[jd11193]

I wanted to tell you all that I've posted a fairly in-depth video review of the Rhodes on YouTube and I'm hoping to get some feedback! Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRMCjgNnGIM&list=UUBAGdw9bwTtga-JYHt5F3Gg

My intention was to take some of the information I've gathered about the instrument and put it together in one video. I know (and I know you all especially will know) that I didn't cover every aspect of the Rhodes, but basically I wanted to make a good introduction video for someone who has limited knowledge of the instrument.

Besides feedback on the video I'm also looking for any suggestions about future videos that focus on the Rhodes. I'm going to be doing a video on the Rhodes + Effects, and another on the Nord Electro / Korg SV1 Rhodes sounds to show how they compare to the original instrument. But other than those two, is there anything else you'd like to see?

Looking forward to hearing what you guys (and gals) think!

Edit: Just noticed that the section on the suitcase amplifiers has some wrong info, anybody know when the effects loop/ individual outputs were introduced? I'll have to add an annotation to the video

Great video primer for people unfamiliar with the Rhodes.  Nicely done.
Pretty sure the effects loop came in '74, though it may have been late '73.

Some modern Yamaha keyboards do a nice Rhodes simulation too, if you want another to compare.

Very nice video.  Great sound too!  It's good to have this out there for folks considering a Rhodes.  My piano is an early 75' but sometimes when I hear a later Mark I like yours I wish I had that sound too.  I love that bell-like tone too.

Thanks for the responses guys! Glad you liked the video, it's good to hear that sound was alright. I can never tell how it'll come through on other people's speakers. Also thanks for the suggestion of comparing a modern Yamaha board as well, if I can manage to get a hold of one I will definitely put in in that video.

My next big project is getting similar reviews done for the Yamaha CP70 and Wurlitzer 200A. As far as the Rhodes goes I'll be doing the comparison video like I mentioned, and some more effects demos as well. If you're interested I'll be posting some videos of the Rhodes ran through some effects pedals later this week.
