The Rhodes brand has been one of the marquee sounds of electric piano based music for over 50 years now, and recently it came into new ownership.
After years of neglect under the previous owners, we couldn’t wait to find out what the future has in store and we’re already excited about the prospects for this classic brand.
There is a new piano, the announcement has already been made and it’s awesome.
We’re talking about a gorgeous, sleek model with real nostalgia appeal, not some tacky artefact of the digital era but the kind of electric piano that embraces the Rhodes heritage and takes it to the next level.
Apparently, 2 years of work have gone into this and if you’re as excited as we are about the potential for a real Rhodes electric piano, you can keep up to date with all developments on the Rhodes Music website.
It’s awesome to see a company buy out an existing brand and instead of asset stripping it, take hold of the brand’s value and start to push out new products that reflect that value.
We’re extra pleased that it’s Rhodes’ new Electric Piano that we’re talking about, as we parted ways with our old model a couple of years ago and can’t wait to try the new one.
