1975 Stage 88 Mark I

Here we have an excellent condition 1975 Mark I Stage 88 complete with legs, cross pieces and pedal/rod. I excel at getting the best out of a given piano and I got great results with this well-preserved Mark I 88. A jazzer's dream. Key pedestal mod for lighter snappy action, replaced grommets, damper mod for cleaner note articulation, dimensional standards adjusted, all good tines and tone bars, harp set up and tuned. The hammer tips were so well preserved I retained them and they are part and parcel to the tone. From soft balled to funk no problem. Very clean inside. The original classic model is still the best for tone and you won't find one that sounds and plays like this one on eBay or Craigslist. It's perfect for the studio, the avid electric piano fan, a backline company that has choosy clientele or anyone who desires a great 88. This is a great summer sale price!

SORRY, SOLD!

Fully serviced Korg Poly 6 with MIDI

This excellent condition Poly 6 has been fully tuned and scaled, new battery installed (before any leakage), new (not just cleaned) key contacts, and a basic MIDI mod installed. This is a much higher level of service than most other synth dealers offer. To hear a fully calibrated and in-tune vintage analog Korg is something to behold. In a word, it rocks.

$1,800 + shipping

1968 Clavinet C

SORRY, SOLD!

1979 Suitcase 88 pre-amp name rail

1979 Suitcase 88 pre-amp name rail. Works perfectly. No rust or corrosion on insides.

SORRY, SOLD!

1973 Stage 73

Fully serviced and exceptionally clean (inside and out) 1973 Stage 73, complete with legs and pedal. This Fender oozes with the highly coveted early 70s tone. I modified the action for faster response and it feels and plays great. Early models in this condition are getting rarer every day. There is no match for the warm mid-heavy chime of this particular Fender--it's tops in its class.

SORRY, SOLD!

1971 (First Week) Suitcase 73 Top

This piano represents the last generation of the warm-toned Raymac tines. All 73 tines are Raymac. I replaced the long bass dampers with NOS shorter type (1973 style) dampers and modded the midrange dampers for better performance. Grommets replaced and harp set up for rich tone. Key dip is set at 3/8 inch. I re-felted the marcel key pedestal. The hammer tips are original and are the first use of neoprene: Red, black, tan, yellow and grey. Effects loop has been added. A good example of this tone is "Sheep" by Pink Floyd. There is no warmer sounding Fender Rhodes than the one offered here. Raymac tines plus marcel action equals the classic Fender Rhodes of all time! Buyer arranges shipping.

SORRY, SOLD!

1976 Stage 73

Fully overhauled! Custom tip voice, dimensional standards set up, key pedestal modification, damper mod, all good tines and tone bars, and new grommets. The mid-'75 through all of '76 tone is special: Not as much mids as what came before yet not as much highs as what came later. This "middle era" tone doesn't have the clicky attack of, say, a Mk2, yet it retains plenty of warmth not unlike that of an earlier model. The "problem" is the felt on cam action. I reversed this and got great Mk2-like action. Some people like the felt on cam action but I feel I can get better results with a key pedestal mod performed to fit the specific piano. This "per piano" factor escapes most techs. The Rhodes offered here is a great-sounding player's piano. The tolex is good for the age of the piano. New tolex on main body of piano only. New logos on harp cover and piano. Small scratches on harp cover. All legs, pedal and crossbars included.

SORRY, SOLD!

1980/81 Stage 73 Mark II

This late '80/early '81 Mark II is among the very best of its kind. Highly playable action and wonderfully long chime-like sustain to the last top note. It has all good tines and tonebars, with modified midrange dampers and new hammer tips in the treble range. All legs and sustain pedal/rod included. The condition of the Tolex is very good. Not all Mark IIs were created equal: This Stage 73 is one of the best pianos I have come across... And it's fully set up by myself and ready to gig or record. I love this piano so I am not giving it away. If you want a top player, here she is!

SORRY, SOLD!

1973 Stage 73

Here is an excellent player. This piano has been abandoned and overdue in my shop and it's time to sell. It received a complete overhaul including key pedestal mod, all new grommets, new tips, dimensional standards adjusted, modified midrange dampers, harp setup, tune and lube. ALL good early '70s tines and tonebars. The upper range sings with warm jazz guitar-like tone including excellent sustain to the last top note. The bass register is thick and phat with good separation for walking lines. Keyboard response can yield aggressive bark yet retains that classic smoothness for those softer moments. Tolex is a bit rough and one leg is missing a thread insert. Sustain pedal included. This is a great opportunity for someone wanting the early '70s tone without paying full price. Pick up only, no shipping.

SORRY, SOLD!

1972 Mark 1a Stage 73

The early 70s Fender Rhodes are special and of this vintage none are better than the pianos from March to April 1972 for warmth, sustain, richness of tone and dynamic bark. This piano's date stamp reads 13 72 15 72. It received a complete internal overhaul with faster action, all-new grommets, new tips, dimensional standards adjusted, damper work, harp set up to perfection, etc. The tolex is very good for its age, with minor scuffs. The harp cover is very good, and all legs and pedal are included with bags. Nothing can compare to an early 70s Fender Rhodes for warmth. I know how these should sound, and I was trained to get the most out of  them.

SORRY, SOLD TO CHICK COREA PRODUCTIONS!
