Rhodes MK8 Piano BLACK base w/o stand (Mint Turquoise)

Rhodes MK8 – a modern reinvention of the legendary Rhodes piano, optimized for tone, touch, intonation and dynamic response. Every component, from the tines and pickups to the pedal mechanism and damper system, has been meticulously redesigned using premium materials and contemporary manufacturing techniques to deliver a high-fidelity playing experience unlike any previous model.

The MK8 features a true analog signal path, including a custom tri-band EQ, variable resonant mid filter, vari-pan circuit, and optional stereo effects like phaser, compressor, chorus, and delay. The 73-note spruce keyboard by Kluge Klaviaturen ensures expressive performance with precision-milled ABS hammers and aerospace-grade damper combs. Premium pickups and hand-voiced tonebars offer iconic Rhodes character with modern accuracy. Multiple outputs, expression pedal control, and a durable, travel-ready design make the MK8 the ultimate choice for studio, stage, and beyond.
