Harking back to the classic 50’s Fender amps, the tweed look has become timeless – and a CEPCo favorite. Although it was never a stock Rhodes finish, it sure looks right on a piano. Along with our top shelf mechanical restoration and electronic restoration, this piano sounds and plays as good as it looks!

Have a listen:

    LOVE this look. Can you share what adhesive you use for the tweed?

      Any contact cement should do you fine. We’re currently using 3M 1000NF Fast Tack Contact Cement because the fumes are not very strong.
