fender rhodes


a piano made from 1965 to the early 80s. electro mechanical, sounds by means of tines, tone bars, and pickups. rhodes was not used in “money” that was a wurlitzer 200a
joni mitch-ll has rhodes on “the hissing of summer lawns”
an addendum to my definition: cbs did not drop the fender name in ’69. that happened in ’75. in ’69, the silver-topped pianos, still bearing the fender name, became the black-finished mk 1 stage and suitcase series. two very important years for rhodes indeed. then came the flat-topped mk 2, etc. post-cbs. the last electric (tine/tuning fork) piano rhodes produced was the mk v in 1984.
oops, i confused the major rhodes developments of ’69 and ’75!! i’m a chumpah.
a really intense, old keyboard that i want. i think its the keyboard in “money.”
omg i made a synth that sounds like a fender rhodes. bah i want the real one tho.
