Love the sound of a Rhodes. Am I right in thinking the theme tune to the comedy series Taxi was played on a Fender Rhodes.

'Woodstock' by Joni Mitchell has some lovely Fender Rhodes work. Joni used the Rhodes a fair bit in her seventies albums

[M138]

Some great music, the live version of No Quarter on The Song Remains The Same, Zeppelin’s finest moment imho.

[Lotobear]

I love the Fender Rhodes, it has an almost ethereal quality.

I didn’t realise that. Lovely sound.

Use the Rhodes often. Grew up with it, and it still rocks.

GC have you got one or do you play a VST of it? I've got a few options using a Nord, but I did have a serious look at a mk8 as some kind of aspirational purchase.
