Featured cal image for February: the glorious Yamaha CP70. From golf clubs to motorcycles to a whole range of musical instruments, it seems Yamaha dipped their toes into a little bit of everything. Designed for stage use, this “portable” electric grand piano separates into two pieces: one with the harp/electronics and the other with the action/keybed. We put together a power hour playlist in honor of this beast, follow the link in our bio to give it a spin! Photo retouching by @jacobwattsphoto

1969 Fender Rhodes Mark I Suitcase with a full mechanical, electronic and cosmetic restoration. Going for a ‘closet classic’ vibe, this piano features black tolex, aged silver grill cloth, cleaned original hardware and a red velvet lining on the lid. This is amongst the earliest Mark I pianos to pass through our shop, and it sounds incredible!

A look under the hood of a recent ‘76 Rhodes Mar

A look under the hood of a recent ‘76 Rhodes Mark I restoration. This one is special because for a few weeks in 1976, the pickups were wound with a copper wire instead of the normal red. While this doesn’t have any noticeable impact on the sound or value of the instrument, it’s a cool slice of Rhodes history.
In our ongoing tribute to the king of electric pianos, we’ve updated our Rhodes playlist with 10 new tracks. Check out the link in bio to freshen up your Friday!
