Rhodes Mark 7 73
LegacyReleased 2007
The 2007 revival under Joe Brandstetter: a Mark V-style wooden-key action in a curvy moulded shell, sold as passive (S), active with EQ and tremolo (A) or active MIDI (AM). Built in small numbers for a few years, so parts and service knowledge are thinner than for the vintage models.
Spares: Rhodes sells the common wear parts on its own website: tines, hammer tips, damper felts, pickups, grommets and springs, made for every Rhodes and Fender Rhodes. Official spares ↗
