Rhodes Electric Pianos: Iconic Sound and Handcrafted Perfection
Looking for the authentic electric piano sound that has defined decades of popular music? Rhodes electric pianos represent the absolute standard in electric pianos, with a sound instantly recognizable in thousands of classic recordings. The legendary Rhodes sound – warm, chiming, expressive and dynamic – returns in a new generation of instruments that combine mastery of craftsmanship with contemporary innovation.
Why Rhodes Electric Pianos Remain Unsurpassed
The Legendary Rhodes Tine Technology
At the heart of the Rhodes sound is its unique tine technology – steel “teeth” struck by hammers and resonating with electromagnetic pickups. This elegant mechanical design creates the characteristic, expressive tone that responds to every nuance of your playing. From delicate, bell-like tones to powerful, driving sounds, the Rhodes captures every subtlety in your playing.
Handmade British Craftsmanship
The new generation of Rhodes pianos are built in the UK with exceptional precision and dedication. Each instrument is the result of decades of craftsmanship, with knowledge passed down and refined. This combination of traditional construction techniques and modern precision results in instruments of exceptional quality and reliability.
Unparalleled Expressiveness
The playing experience of a Rhodes is unique – the combination of mechanical response and electric amplification offers an expressive range that no other keyboard instrument can match. The special relationship between player and instrument allows for the emotion and nuance that makes the Rhodes a virtual extension of the musician.
