Sales start this fall. :D
Even if you think you dont know what they sound like, you probably do. Its a real classic that hasnt been made since 84. Unlike a synth or *electronic* piano, Rhodes are an *electromechanical* piano. There are hammers, vibrating forks and pickups.
If you cant afford a new Rhodes this fall, my local Craigslist has a Wurlitzer 200A for sale. Its even funkier sounding. It was good enough for Ray Charles "Whatd I say (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What%27d_I_Say)". :mrgreen:
