Hi,

I own a Fender Rhodes Mark II. I have built up enough courage to try and have a go at dismantling it, cleaning it and replacing any parts that need replacing.

As you can see from the image below, my tines are badly corroded and rusty:



The piano plays fine but I would still like to remove as much rust and corrosion as possible. I would also like to prevent them from rusting any further.

I have read about various solutions to this problem on this forum - sandpaper, petrol, alcohol, wenol, WD40. Judging from the above pic, which of these do you think is the best solution?

Many thanks and keep up the good work - this forum is invaluable to newbies like me.

Alan.

Hi to all!

I have a Fender Rhodes Mark II. I will be going away from my place for a couple of years and I'll have to leave it behind.

Do you guys know how best to preserve it until I come back? I live in Malta and here we have lots and lots of humidity. Is this bad for my piano? Can I do something about this?

Thanks.
