What is it?
Talk to any contemporary keyboard player and the chances are, they will hold an enormous amount of affection for the electro-mechanical piano known as a Rhodes. Much like conventional acoustic pianos, the Rhodes adopts a key and hammer mechanism, but instead of striking a string, the hammer strikes a thin rod, known as a tine. The tine vibrates across a pick up, producing the beautifully identifiable sound, which we intrinsically know as the sound of a Rhodes.
