THE ULTIMATE IN RHODES SOUND AND FEEL
Harold Rhodes’ legendary electro-mechanical tine piano returns. Precision built in the UK with the finest hand-selected materials.
Optimising the iconic sound of the Rhodes piano, the MK8 offers considerable improvements in tone, touch, intonation and dynamics. All critical components – including tines, pickups, dampers and pedal mechanism – have been redesigned from the ground up, using only the highest quality materials and the very best in contemporary manufacturing techniques.
KEYBOARD
Precision-manufactured by internationally renowned Kluge Klaviaturen GmbH (Steinway Group), the Rhodes MK8’s keyboard offers unparalleled expression and a nuanced piano-like feel.
ONBOARD EFFECTS
The MK8 offers you the opportunity to dial up the effects of your choice with inbuilt VCA analogue compressor and low noise analogue stereo bucketbrigade effects: chorus, phaser, delay.
PREAMP
The custom Rhodes engineered MK8 analogue preamp features parametric EQ, independent drive, envelope control, wah, new vari-pan with 4 waveshapes, audio rate modulation capabilities and dual expression pedal control inputs.
CUSTOMISE
With external design by Axel Hartmann, the MK8 closely echoes the classic lines of the much loved Rhodes MK1 piano, whilst inviting a level of owner customisation never before offered on a Rhodes.
