To mark the 75 anniversary of its launch the Rhodes MK8/75AE – a careful, precise remake of the classic – has been given even more cosmetic bells and whistles to mark the occasion and make it that bit more desirable.
The 75th Anniversary Edition isn’t cheap, at $13,495 plus tax apiece.
The MK8/75AE adds a black keybed, black accents and includes the full (previously optional) on-board effects unit and controls. It’s Rhodes’ best MK8 yet.
The company has promised attention to detail and faithfulness to the original sound that is second to none.
The original run (in its various options and forms) completely sold out, so this new Limited Edition version (there are only 75 models being built) might just be your last chance to secure one.
You can apply for a chance to pre-order one by registering your interest on the Rhodes website now in advance of pre-orders officially opening on the 15 September. But do be prepared to be asked for 50% of that $13,495 plus tax upfront to secure your order and be prepared to wait six months for delivery. Good luck!
