This ready-to-ship 1976 Rhodes 88 Stage sounds so good; we get “misty” over the tones! Here’s in-house shredder and piano tech @spuly_ doing a little rendition of the classic 1954 #errollgarner tune for #lickoftheweek .

This piano is overhauled and ready to send out, we’ve received lots of interest but it’s still up for grabs! Message us to make it yours!

🎙️🇩🇪 Our take on Wilco’s “Impossible Germany”. Whammy Clavinets often get compared to lead guitars, and so we decided to take Nels Cline’s sensitive vibrato style licks and try them out on the Whammy Clavinet. Accompanied by @matt.blocher on a freshly restored Wurlitzer 214, we love the way this little homage came out. 🇩🇪🎙️

🌳 This custom oak-cased whammy-modified Hohner Clavinet received our top-shelf services. See a detailed blog post on our website for a deep dive into this very special instrument. 🌳

Wilco represents Chicago in the best ways possible; We’ve had the pleasure of restoring a few keyboards for them. We love the tones they get at their Loft studio, as well as their songs! We hope you enjoy this take as much as we enjoyed playing it.

The custom Helpinstill goes for one more ride on this take of Bruce Hornsby’s Classic hit “The Way It Is”. @spuly_ put this arrangement together of the often sampled, rarely covered, 1986 chart-topping, career-making, song.

This Helpinstill’s custom output box, designed and built by our @krazykeegan , allows for panning the Piano’s three pickups through the use of separated outputs. You’ll hear some of that stereo spread on this recording.

Here we demonstrate the unique ability of our custom Helpinstill piano to split its own keyboard into three separate outputs; Bass, Middle, and Treble. Of course, the two-way split became somewhat standard in the digital era, but can you name any other acoustic instrument that can split its register like this?

The treble is run through a vintage @bossinfoglobal DM-3 for maximum @lee_scratch_perry vibes. The midrange is run through a vintage Boss Ph-1 phaser. We ran the bass through a vintage @ehx mini Q tron for a little @bootsy_collins nod.

Stay tuned for more footage and an in-depth blog post on our website about this super unique Helpinstill restoration.
