Another CEPCo custom shop exclusive: plexi tops for Rhodes 88 pianos! Here is a recent restoration featuring one of these lids in a smoked finish. We love the subtle depth and elegance these add to Rhodes pianos 🤩🎹🎩

Seamlessly blending elements of disco, the sparkle of the city that never sleeps and the flair of Liberace, we are honored to have this one-of-a-kind Wurlitzer accompany lovers down the aisle.
Who knows, maybe even Elvis will get to play it 😎

Lick of the week - “Vehicle” by the Ides of March.
We found our recent Chevelle inspired Wurlitzer 200 to be the perfect “vehicle” for this song 😉
Hailing from Berwyn Illinois (just outside of Chicago), the Ides of March were billed alongside the likes of Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin after the release of this 1970 chart topper.

Built in 1970, this Wurlis forest green sparkle finish with white racing stripes was inspired by a rare Chevy Chevelle from the same year. This piano is track ready under the hood featuring a full CEPCo seal of approval. Video coming your way soon 🏁

The classics are classic for a reason 👑🎹
1974 Fender Rhodes Suitcase 88 fully restored inside and out. Even with new tolex and grill clothe, we often opt to clean and reuse the vintage nickel plated hardware for a subtle reminder that this is a 50 year old instrument.
You can hear this one on our recent “Eminence Front” video!

The wood shop has been busy 🪚🛠️!
Here we have a custom 1975 Rhodes Stage 73 rehoused in an American walnut case with matching cheekblocks and mirror name rail. It’s capped off with a gorgeous smoked plexi top. Under the hood we have what really counts: our top tier mechanical restoration, ensuring this piano plays and sounds even better than it looks. This one is on its way to Colombia to be played by @manuelturizo
