[Rhodes22-list] RE: Rhodes Piano on KSLM & New Song on Brookville

[Gardner, Douglas (LNG-DAY)]

Hey Slimmy, 

   Just to tease you a little, I do have a pre-Fender era Rhodes 88 sitting
in my basement.  ;^)  

And I'm a percussionist, so don't even PLAY the thing!  But it IS a
fantastic instrument, so I appreciate it.

I finally got Fretnaught into the water on Saturday.  Apparently, the
"former New Song" has been out enough for me to hear reports of a pristine
R22 on Brookville Lake (I mean besides my "pristine as can be 1986 model").


That is great to hear!

The Rhodes piano was one of the earliest and venerable electronic pianos.
Instead of the hammer striking strings, the hammer struck tines--like a
tuning fork except one prong instead of two.  Here's a fine example:
