1979 Rhodes Mk1 Suitcase sleeper build

Overhauled interior paired with a sleek “almost original” exterior makes for the ultimate incognito player. What was once a black grilled suitcase model is now closer to an early mk1 suitcase with the updated grill cloth, along with a black early 60’s fender tolex instead of the classic print.

Now living its new life in OHIO, full restoration video Friday

Part two of the custom acrylic visualizer build photos!

You wouldn’t believe how hard it is to photograph something that wants to reflect everything off of it lmao. Maybe I should do a mirror lid next just to make my job more difficult

Introducing the first ever acrylic Wurlitzer (that I know of)

I started this project 6 months ago, and I am very excited to finally be able to show you all. The lid itself took two months to make, and the original 207VA body had to be totally gutted and reassembled in its current form.

The full restoration video will be out next week, and more photos to come

Bark Rhodes bark!

My client requested this Rhodes to be HOT! So there is some extra sizzle compared to your traditional dingy d**g bell tone. Nice change of pace—thank you for this wonderful demo!
