Don't see these too often, so thought id, share the one I ran across today. Must have a really nice sound for the asking price!!

A little steep I'd say. You'd think they could have at least used a key without a cutout in it!  There may not be any of those on a Rhodes though....
The first time I opened a Rhodes I was a little disappointed. The action just seemed so cheapy. To me it is inferior compared to a wurlitzer, but I am wurlitzer biased. :P

Boy, if I was a less scrupulous individual, I'd take a hacksaw to a piano and make about $80,000 worth of those things.

It's certainly a simpler action but when you drop your axe on the pavement unloading it for a gig, you'll be glad it wasn't assembled from hundreds of delicate little pieces.

This is the same production year of my 1-key model, so perhaps they made a small run of them.  The rarity should demand a bit of a price for a collector... but this guy will be holding onto that for a while.

You'll need an extra mortgage to get all 73 of them ;)

Wow, that's too much! Some acoustic piano companies make 1-3 key models like this for the dealers, but the PTG loves to use them for teaching and testing purposes. They are a great way to teach beginning techs and also to test their knowledge by throwing them all out of whack to see if the student knows how to fix it. I think these models average around $900-$1,000, even that is expensive, but they do have a purpose.

Meh...I have never been a huge monophonic guy, let alone monotonic if that is such a word.  :o

Dang it! I wish it weren't so expensive.
I have a 72 key MkII and I've been looking for something just like this to complete it.
