Rhodes Mark 7 73

Discontinued
Released 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.

Replaced by MK8

Replaces Mark V Stage 73
