Hi All

I'm a Rhodes lover in the UK. Just found this site and great it is. I own a stage 73 and an excellent condition 1977 73 KMC 1 in walnut identical to the one shown here under the student models (bottom photo). Apparently there were only 25 of these ever made! I've owned this for around 15 years and had no idea that this was such a rare instrument. I wondered if anyone here could give me an idea of it's value?? I was considering selling it as I now have the stage 73 and I'm a bit short of space but now I don't know if I should just keep hold of it. Any advice appreciated.  :?  :D

Thanks,

I'd had checked Ebay but have only ever seen Stage/Suitcase models listed on there.

I've now confirmed that what I actually have is the Rhodes 73 Home Model in full walnut case, of which apparently only 25 ish were ever produced. So I'm looking for opinions, would I be mad to consider selling this?

Hi there!

Check this one out:

But keep in mind, that due to demand and SUPPLY prizes in europe are way beyond prizes in the US.
And you are lucky owner of a rare collector's item.
