Hey people,

here is my problem:
I've got a Mark II in really good shape. The only thing is, that some keys are in bad condition. Normally I would replace the key caps but the problem is the color of the keycaps. If I would change the broken with new ones, you can easily see this.
Is there another possibility to get the things done without changing all keycaps?

Thanks,
Chris

Hey people,

I got a delivery from the states now and on the pallet there was an rhodes piano I did not see before. I looked it up on the fender rhodes supersite and it looks like a student piano. I read about it also on the supersite and found that picture:

http://www.fenderrhodes.com/img/models/student/kmc1-panel.jpg

My piano has also this panel. The descritption says something about, that the piano should have a scaled-down amp with two 10" speakers. My piano has just one and there is no big hole for a second one. Also mine has just one pedal. I cann't find a serialnumber to get some infos about the date. There is a stamp on the harp that says "130" and on the serialplate "FR-7055". I'm not really sure, what this thing would be worth. Has anyone an idea? I read something about, that there were just 280 pieces produced. So it could be really rare?!?

Thanks,
Chris

Thanks,

Still waiting for the right piano to come :)

Is there a trustworthy person in Atlanta, who drives to CO Springs and picks up two pianos for me? :)

hey people,

I've got a problem. I want to buy a few (3 or 4) Rhodes Pianos in Atlanta. But I need them in CO Springs.
Do you know a possibility, how to gather the pianos in one place and ship them together to CO Springs? Of course it shouldn't be too expensive.

The best of course would be, if a private person picks them up and drives them to CO Springs and I will pay for this service. But I can't find someone! :)

Thanks for any suggestion in advance.

Hey people,

I'm looking for any kind of Rhodes Piano, Yamaha CP or Wurlitzer in Denver, Boulder, CO Springs and other cities in this area.
The condition doesn't matter. Also if the piano is not working, I'm interested.

Thanks!

Take care,
Chris

Hey,

I can recommend another combination: I'm using a Fender Bandmaster Blackface (!!!) with two 1x12" speaker in a custommade speakerbox. The speaker are ElectroVoice EVM 12L and the box is half open on the back side. The sound is absolutely awesome!
I've owned a Jazz Chorus before, but the sound is too cold for me.
And I've tried a Twin Reverb Silverface. Cool !! But much to heavy...

Hey people,

I'm looking for two things:

a.) Rhodes Mark V
b.) Super Satellite System or Janus

If you have one of these things, or both, I hope, that you can ship it. I cannot pick it up. It has to be delivered to Colorado Springs.

Thank you and good bye!

Best regards,
Chris
