RHODES MARK 7 88 A BLACK ROAD TOUCH?
on: August 18, 2010, 09:21:51 PM
Hello!

Although I was raised playing piano, this is no longer by
far my main instrument. I have a couple of deacent digi-
tal pianos (Roland 700 and CME UF8) together with a few
Roland rack synths. They feel a bit too "digital" to my (ad-
mittely) possibly quite limited talants as a piano player.

I was starting to think that something a little bit older in
terms of style (albeit not completely classical) could en-
hache my limited playing skills a littke bit further. So
what about the

RHODES MARK 7 88 A BLACK ROAD TOUCH

which seems to my unklnowledgeable eyes to be a sort of
Ray Charles or so electrical piano - excuse my poor know-
ledge, I know no nothing except that I do not want to tune
classical pianos and do not really like the modern digital
ones.

What about this RHODES peace?

Best ...

I practiced classical on a Mark I 73 key for years.  Loved the thing esp with a Fender Twin Reverb.  My nephew nows plays it.
