Ok, this is a bit of market research. I'm thinking of putting together some workshops in August in the UK to go over the fundamentals of rhodes setup with a small group of players/prospective techs. People could bring their rhodes and we could spend a whole day going over all the fundamental aspects of adjusting the mechanics of the rhodes: voicing, strike line, escapement, sustain, dampers, etc. And maybe even look into other aspects of the instrument such as preparation, 'inside' piano playing, and working with computers.
If anyone's interested feel free to email me huw60@hotmail.com. I've been working on rhodes for years and have recently started my own business in mainland europe as a full time electric piano tech.
Having learned the trade working in the UK I'm well aware that I would have saved months of time if I'd had someone show me at first hand how to work on the rhodes. I'm a firm believer that any rhodes can sound amazing. No one should ever accept that their piano will never sound as good as what they hear on records.
