RhodesClassic MK8 73-Key Electric Piano

Rhodes Classic MK8

A legend returns with the Rhodes MK8 electro-mechanical piano, bringing this classically smooth sound into a new generation with onboard effects and a revitalized design for the ultimate sound and feel. Built to exacting standards of precision with high-quality components in the UK, the MK8 is a testament to the legacy of one of the most renowned keyboard instruments in music history. Across the 73-key piano-feel keybed, an uncompromising approach to craftsmanship imparts nuanced and expressive control that is a joy to play.

Sculpt your tone with the onboard preamp, with deep flexibility available between the envelope-shaping preamp with drive, parametric EQ, and versatile panner that extends into audio rate modulation. To the right of the front panel, the MK8 features four analog effects including compression, chorus, phaser, and delay, giving you even more opportunities to shape sounds. The stereo chorus, phaser, and delay effects feature bucket-brigade analog designs, with a subtle darkness perfectly fitting the smooth tones of the MK8's classic Rhodes sound.

In both the preamp and effects sections, two assignable and independent expression control inputs are available, enabling a wide range of expressive possibilities waiting to be explored. The Classic version comes in a sleek black and silver finish, elegantly communicating Rhodes' legacy of inspiring instrumental design. This same legacy of fantastic sound and precision craftsmanship can now be a part of your own studio, continuing the story with your own musical contributions on a modern instrument with deep ties to a vast creative history.
