Here's a nice one from Kino Haitsma from the Netherlands recording DI in the Belgium Galaxy studio.
Kino had this 1977 for 25 years I think. It had to much Bell-sound in the high mids for my taste. The soundquality was still satisfying enough after I improved this one early 2010.  The harp's tines were a bit messy in length , due to several tines being replaced in the past (double striking action with old worn felts results in more broken tines ) and maybe also a sleepy assembler back in 1977 on a monday morning...
Although these 1977's are "your average" Rhodes piano's , they can still be quite good ....with actionmodifications and harp-improvements.... This set of keys had some deviations to deal with while modifying them....they are seldom perfect.

Enjoy !

(It sounds good in the 720p HD playbackmode.)
