I’m in talks with a local machine shop about manufacturing new replacement tines for the Fender Rhodes Piano. These tines would be compatible with practically all models of the Rhodes line, including the popular models:
Fender Rhodes Mark 1a
Fender Rhodes Mark 1b
Fender Rhodes Mark II
Rhodes Mark V
Some folks are already selling replacement tines, so this will be yet another source of competition in this niche market. Like these other vendors, I am aiming to provide these tines in the $10-$20 range, with discounts to dealers who buy in large quantity.
If you visit this page, please leave a comment and I will contact you with more information as soon as it becomes available. It would be nice to see how many people are interested in these things.
Thanks,
Joe
I am very interesting in your trying to machine new Rhodes tines. How do you make them? And what of? will you sell me some? Thanks a lot. Please email me.
I’d be interested in checking out the quality/tone of any aftermarket rhodes tines, but do the world of electro-mechanical musicians a favor and don’t hack any of us on the prices, the world deserves affordable tines!
If they dont sound like early 70’s tines forget it!
I would love to hear what newly manufactured tines sound like and I would be interested in purchasing some whenever I break another one (it has happened twice already) and if they sound really good I wouldn’t mind an entire set! Let me know how its coming along.
I need tines, too. Let me know when they’re available.
I’m extremely in need of these parts! Let me know when they are available.
