"A rare and beautifully preserved example of the final production model in the Rhodes lineage, the Mark V represents the culmination of decades of electric piano design. This unit is in excellent condition, with original sustain pedal and plastic lid. Hinge functionality is a bit hampered for this unit but can be opened and closed without serious issues.

Please note that the original legs are not included.

Compared to earlier models, the Mark V offers a lighter cabinet, improved action, and more articulate tone, making it equally suitable for recording, live performance, and collectors who value both sound and design.

Key Features:

Restored by noted keyboard tech Matt Cunitz in the San Francisco Bay Area
73-key electric piano with tines and passive pickups
Redesigned action for improved feel and consistency
Polyurethane hammer tips for enhanced dynamic response
Includes original pedal and lid
Compact and lighter than earlier models
Condition Notes:

Fully functional with even key response
All included hardware and pedal components working properly
The Mark V is the most elusive of the Rhodes line, produced in smaller quantities and built with thoughtful upgrades that make it a standout among vintage electric pianos. A rare opportunity to own one in such complete and clean condition.

30% of proceeds go to support the Bob Moog Foundation."

The Vintage Synthesizer Museum Doc - A "Living Museum" where otherworldly sounds come to life!

video upload by Helium Vision

"In this episode of Helium Vision, we invite you into a world that hums with the strange and the beautiful—the Vintage Synthesizer Museum (VSM). Founded in 2013 by the avid synthesizer historian Lance Hill, this “living museum” exists in a space where the past and present come together to offer an immersive experience into the magical world of sound. It’s not just a museum—it’s a place where visitors and artists can disappear into their work, perform in a unique atmosphere, or learn the art of synthesis.

Initially opening its doors in Oakland the VSM is now nestled in the heart of Los Angeles, this space has since witnessed the presence of many modern visionaries—Damon Albarn, Egyptian Lover and Neurosis, to name a few—each leaving behind their own distinctive imprints.

Come with us, as we step into the otherworldly corners of the Vintage Synthesizer Museum and uncover the tales of the instruments that dwell within.

video upload by moogfoundation

via this Reverb listing

"An exceptional example of one of the most advanced analog synthesizers of its era. The Rhodes Chroma — originally developed by ARP and finished under the Rhodes brand — delivers 16 analog voices with velocity sensitivity, deep modulation architecture, and dynamic expressiveness years ahead of its time.

This unit is in excellent condition and includes key upgrades: a MIDI retrofit, the Sterooping programmer for hands-on control, and a rugged, custom-built, almost-new ATA flight case for transport and storage. The Chroma has been tested and is performing as expected.

Key Features:

16 analog voices with single or dual oscillator assignability
Velocity-sensitive weighted keyboard
Extensive modulation options with assignable routings
Unique filter architecture with variable state filters
Includes the Sterooping programmer for tactile, real-time control
MIDI upgrade installed for modern integration
ATA-rated flight case included
Condition Notes:

Excellent overall condition
Tested and working as expected
Flight case shows typical wear but protects the unit well
One of the rarest and most collectible instruments of the early digital/analog crossover era, the Chroma has been used by artists such as Joe Zawinul, Herbie Hancock, and Eddie Jobson. With these modern upgrades, it remains a powerful and expressive studio centerpiece.

30% of proceeds support the Bob Moog Foundation, preserving and celebrating the legacy of electronic music."

Roland Jupiter 6 and Rhodes piano somber improvisation

video upload by MIDERA

"It just keeps coming. An HVAC company installed a mini-split in 2020, right after the warranty goes out, we find that they likely didn't connect the flare nuts right, causing it to slowly leak. They haven't responded about my complaint... but they did tell me it would be $3600 to repair.

I woke up to my wife asking me to help me find our second oldest cat who wouldn't come for food, which wasn't typical. All day she sat, unmoved. Her breath rate at 70. It finally dropped. And, tonight we finally got her to eat some tuna. But I've forced her to drink water... and, well, it just sucks to have your furry friend so sick, and we have lots of them to share their pain.

And our car has had a strange issue... all of this, right before we go on a trip. Makes sense.

Oh well - guess this is just life. I'll take it over the alternative.

WISP - Granular Ambient Modular #17 // Instruo Arbhar, Qu-Bit Mojave, Rhodes

video upload by David Falcon

"noun /wɪsp/
a delicate, thin, and sometimes twisting piece or line of something

Me apetecía algo relajante así que hice una pieza para mí mismo. La idea parte sampleando en el @instruo Arbhar: Rhodes, Piano, Vibráfono, Acordeón, Synth bass y Cuerdas. En mi experiencia, este módulo funciona mejor cuando se samplean frases para luego recorrerlas con su motor en lugar de notas individuales. Lleva a sorpresas y texturas interesantes. En esta jam solo utilicé el vibráfono y el rhodes.

La textura aguda, parecida a una voz, soy yo mismo cantando al micro del @QuBitElectronix Mojave y fijando el búfer. Fui editando el módulo hasta hacerlo funcionar en el tema. La línea de bajo nace en el @MoogSynthesizers Subarmonicon y lo envié al @ShakmatModular Dual Dagger para controlar la dinámica.
En el @WeAreElektron Analog Four añado un Kick, Hi-Hat y dos líneas simples en las frecuencias agudas. También improviso con el Nord con un sonido Rhodes en algunas partes a tiempo real (no he podido montar el vídeo que he hecho en el móvil de esta parte por algun motivo en Davinci Resolve)

Gracias por estar al otro lado!

(eng)
I was in the mood for a relaxing piece so I made one for myself! It started by sampling some new sounds into Arbhar. Rhodes, Piano, Vibraphone, Accordion, Synth bass and Strings. In my experience this module works best when sampling phrases to then sweep around with its engine instead of single notes. It leads to more happy accidents and interesting textures. In this jam only the vibraphone and some rhodes was used.

The high texture vocal-like sound is myself singing into Mojave and locking the buffer. I tweaked the module until I found something that worked. It was mixed with a bass line in the subharmonicon and sent to the Dual Dagger to control the dynamics of the song.
Lastly the Analog Four is adding Kick, Hi-Hat and two simple lines on top. I also improvise with a Nord Rhodes sound on top in some of the parts."

FENDER / RHODES CHROMA POLARIS - Analog Synthesizer Review

"Fender Rhodes Chroma Polaris synth review, demo and sounds. The Chroma Polaris is a classic 6-voice analog synthesizer released in 1984 by Fender Rhodes, and has Arp heritage. Join me for a review of the Chroma Polaris where I provide an overview, demo presets and patches, and provide my final thoughts on this vintage synth."

Sunday Session Jam 02

video upload by Luke Million

"The second instalment of my improvised jam sessions in the studio features the Roland TR-707, Jupiter 8, RE-201 and Rhodes Electric Piano.

The Jupiter 8’s Lower Arpeggiator is triggered by the TR-707 leaving the Upper part on chord duties which runs through the Space Echo. The Rhodes is going through an EchoFix Chorus Vibrato and Spring Reverb.

I was feeling late night synthwave vibes with this one!

Should I turn this idea into a full track?"

Field recordings of cicadas, Rhodes Mark II, OP-1 field : Imaginary cicada 2025-08-06 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"Field recordings of a cicada-filled park, Nord Lead, and Rhodes

A piece built from park ambience where cicadas sing—heard against the memory of a summer so hot that, these days, even the cicadas in Tokyo seldom call.

This year in Tokyo the heat has been relentless, and opportunities to hear cicadas have become scarce.

Harmony and melodies are performed on the ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead and Rhodes.
The field recordings are re-recorded into the ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field and transformed using its onboard filter and an ‪@KORG_INC‬ NTS-1 for additional processing."

"This is a short video of my 1984 Rhodes Chroma. I am the original owner.
This shows me creating a scratch patch using the CC+ Split 39 function , which shows the instrument functioning as it should"

via this Reverb listing

"It is registered on the Chroma Website 0660

Is it fully functional , has the CC+ and midi interface , and a new power supply installed by the best Chroma tech on the east coast.

It is cosmetically beautiful. The black metal top shows a few scratches from having a Rhodes Chroma Polaris on it years ago, hence the 'excellent' vs ' mint ' condition

It has a new flight case to original specs, all original manuals , all needed pedals , although those are not original"

The age of sadness | Sequential Prophet VS and Rhodes Piano somber improvisation w Fractal Audio FM3

video upload by MIDERA

"In the distance I saw the clouds, and with them a rainbow. It appeared so tranquil, so peaceful. And then it was gone. Just like that. Just like us.

Fractal Audio FM3 was used to loop the Prophet VS. I played on top of that with the Rhodes Piano.

No external FX used."

"A crossover track featuring Rhodes MK2, ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead, ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, and ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Grandmother, where breakbeats intertwine with electric-piano and synth lines.

Rhodes MK2: Runs through a ‪@BOSSinfoglobal‬ BOSS CE-5 chorus, then the ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ GENERATIONcha LOSS MK II for tape-style lo-fi warmth.

Nord Lead: Plays the main synth lead, treated with reverb from ‪@gfisys‬ Specular Tempus.

Prophet-10: Swaps patches on the fly, adding abstract synth textures and additional leads.

Grandmother: Handles the bass line."

"It's been a month. As I said, my wife lost her job in May. We hoped she would get a job that seemed like a great fit, someone had reached out to her and said she'd be perfect. Guess they didn't think so later. Oh well.

I did manage to extract all the audio from my old Roland VS-840GX. I kind of wish I was still recording using that thing, it was so good for just sitting down without a screen and recording whatever I wanted, but using a DAW is just so much nicer.

I had half written the rhodes part on this track, when I ended up recording something else that I plan to put into a rock track (yes, I am trying to get back into writing that type of music). Came back to this last night and recorded this, with some changes. Funny how walking away and coming back to something helps you change it for the better.

I used the Fractal Audio FM3 as a looper to loop the first part and then played everything else over it. The Rhodes and Prophet VS was performed in one go, the guitar was done in a second round with Eventide Blackhole VST for reverb.

Well, I hope you enjoy this - my first track written in a month."

video upload by atnr

"A track built with the Rhodes MK2, ‪@WeAreElektron‬ Digitakt, and ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10—a glitchy lo-fi beat where electric-piano chords, synth lines, and chopped rhythms interlock.

Rhodes MK2: Runs through a CE-5 chorus, then the ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ GENERATION LOSS MK II for tape coloration, giving the sound a slightly wobbly feel.

Prophet-10: Plays a simple phrase with reverb from a ‪@strymon‬ blueSky.

Digitone: (using sliced drum hits) reconstructs the rhythm, while the ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MK II adds reverb, pitch-shifts, and micro-loop glitches."

"Fantastic Rhodes Chroma Polaris. This Chroma has a new membrane, has been fully serviced including battery, full factory reset/spec, Factory load. Super rich, midi heavy Poly analog. Great integration, expressive w/ pedal and assignments.

The panel was installed a year ago and in that time something did press the surface (see last pic) - no functional issues, but wanted to note the visual since it is a new membrane."

"Serviced a few years ago and given a new membrane which is known to go bad on these. For this listing, we had it serviced and given new batteries. With that, all the factory patches were erased and about 50% of them were located and installed. Banks G-K only play an initialized saw patch. All other factory banks are loaded, and all features and functions work very nicely!"

Dream of the moons | Roland Jupiter 6, Rhodes Piano, and Fractal Audio FM3 lush ambient soundscape

video upload by MIDERA

"Wow, made it to 11,000 subscribers. It’s funny because it would seem like a “success” so to speak… but it’s not so different than when I only had 100 subscribers or 500, or 5,000. Truthfully, I guess the successes I have are raising my kids, it’s the time I truly feel like “I made it.” My career doesn’t feel so successful either. But I do enjoy the stuff I do here, and I suppose doing it has allowed me to write at least 21 albums worth of electronic music, which in itself is a feat I suppose.

Success just doesn’t seem to be an endpoint. You can look at someone who seems successful, and they can be moments from catastrophe, either self-inflicted or otherwise, or they don’t view their lives as successful at all. It’s like success is that pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. You think it’s there and all you have to do is catch up with it, but you really won’t ever see it, because there is no pot of gold. Some of the most miserable, hateful people I know… have lots of the stuff. I guess I am learning something in this world: that money and success won’t be there to make me happy. But I feel real joy around my family, and some joy around things I achieve, but it’s pretty clear that there will never be a thing that I do that tells me that I was or will be successful. And that’s good enough for me.
