"The Yamaha YC45D is a dual-manual analog combo organ from the golden age of stage gear, built to compete with the Hammond sound in a portable format… though “portable” is relative, as this beast was famously overbuilt for tone and durability. With lush vibrato/chorus, drawbar control, and punchy percussion voices, it became a favorite of gigging players in the ’70s and beyond.

This unit is in good, working condition. It does not include the original stand or pedalboard. Gray lid is included, shown in last image. Some surface scuffs and two notable nicks in the chassis (shown in images).

Key Features:

Dual 61-note manuals with percussion and sustain modes
9 drawbars per manual plus dedicated bass section
Vibrato and chorus with intensity and speed control
Bass and lead voice settings with real-time switching
Gray lid version
Condition Notes:

All keys, drawbars, switches, and functions work as expected
No pedalboard or stand included
Cosmetically light wear, good overall for its age
The YC45D has been used by everyone from Rick Wright (Pink Floyd) to Garth Hudson (The Band), and remains a favorite among collectors and retro keyboardists for its unique voicing and stage presence.

Please note: Due to its size and weight, this instrument is best suited for local pickup. Freight shipping may be arranged by the buyer (please contact us prior to purchase if you intend to have the item shipped).

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.

Multiple voice tabs for bass, strings, oboe, brass, and more
Percussion and vibrato effects
