Any qualified Rhodes technicians wishing to be factory authorized for warrantee service repair can register when the company website comes on line.

I support your community and have appreciated the suggestions in
developing ,hopefully ,the greatest Rhodes electric piano line ever._
Further details were then offered in this thread on Gearslutz, to the following effect:
_” Mr. Brandstetter has confirmed that the new instruments will:
be true electromechanical pianos, based on Harold Rhodes’ design
mechanically follow (with improvements) the most recent production Rhodes, the Mk V
be fitted as standard with MIDI
be lighter, more roadworthy and more portable than any previous production Rhodes
be available in 73- and 88-note versions
offer many new features
have a striking visual presence, while obviously remaining a “genuine Rhodes” “_
Now, that’s some news I can get behind.
