🙋🏻‍♂️ Welcome and Foreword

Hello and welcome to my Reverb Shop!

Thank you for your interest in this listing. Every instrument I offer comes from my private collection and is treated with great care and respect. Each instrument is thoroughly checked and tested to ensure full functionality and excellent condition. Before any instrument is listed for sale, it goes through a professional multi-stage inspection by our technician. Only after successfully passing all functional and visual checks is it approved for listing.

I am aware that my prices may be above average, but this reflects my commitment to transparency, careful preparation, and customer satisfaction. Packaging alone takes 2–4 hours, with multiple layers of protection to ensure safe and worry-free transport. Quality — both of the instruments and my work — is my top priority. I am always available to answer questions and ensure a smooth buying experience.

Enjoy reading the description.

🎹 Information about the Item for Sale

I am offering an absolute classic of electro-mechanical music history: the Rhodes Mark II Stage 73. Released at the turn of the 1980s, the Mark II carries forward the exact same legendary internal design and glorious tine-based sound architecture of the late-era Mark I, wrapped in a sleek, updated modern visual aesthetic. It is the definitive electric piano sound, instantly recognizable across soul, jazz fusion, pop, and rock records of the late 70s and 80s.

The Mark II is highly favored by studio musicians and gigging professionals alike for its distinct updates:

• Flat Top Design: The iconic ridged lid of the Mark I was replaced with a robust, flat plastic top design, allowing you to easily stack a synthesizer, effects units, or a clavinet directly on top of the Rhodes without it sliding off.
• Signature Tine Sound: Driven by physical rubber-tipped hammers striking individual metal tines over electromagnetic pickups, it yields a remarkably deep, expressive, and dynamic tone. It delivers that legendary velvety warmth when tickled, and a aggressive, throaty "bark" when dug into.

Technically, this Rhodes Mark II 73 is in excellent operational condition. Maintaining these mechanical vintage instruments requires expert precision—this unit has been thoroughly inspected. The internal harp structure, pickups, and tines are fully functional, and the action has been expertly adjusted for a smooth, lightning-fast, and responsive feel across all 73 keys. Optically, it is in beautiful condition, presenting its striking black-and-silver color scheme with only minor, normal signs of handling from its authentic history.

Please note: This listing includes the Rhodes Mark II Stage 73 electric piano. (Please verify if accessories like the original legs, sustain pedal, and push-rod are required, as setups can vary).
