When I was young and cute I could get help with carrying the Rhodes when I had a night club gig in the 70's but now my favourite Rhodes sound is one of the patches in a Korg X5DR module - lots of touch response with the right keyboard but the only thing missing is that I don't know how to set it up to get the 'left to right' effect like you could get on the original Rhodes Suitcase model. Guess I get lazy and make do with the patches in my Roland RD250SX if they really want Rhodes. There was quite an art in setting up the original 70's Rhodes to make them sound good and I still think of it as an instrument in its own right.

He's Strong!! I love the sound of this keyboard. I had the pleasure of playing on one at a house opening back in October of last year. My other favorite is the hamond B3. I carried both back in the 70's. Enjoy. -----Original Message-----From: ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] OnBehalf Of Audrey Levine Sent: Wednesday, March 07, 2007 7:34 AM To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ddots-l] Re: Return of the Rhoads electric piano?? Hi James,You're absolutely right; however, my neighbor took both pieces (thesuitcase model) out of the car and made one trip into the house with them. Either he's very strong, or was very drunk at the time.

Well, keep in mind that the grass always looks greener on the other side. Remember the broken tines, the hassle of keeping it in tune, the often intolerable grounding problems, and the general inconsistency from one note to another? Unless they have drastically improved the mechanics without compromising the sound, I don't think it is worth it. The newer rhodes's that used the plastic hammers never had that bite and edge that the ones in the '70's had.
