Moonglow Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 That looks like one of the pianos he first made for GI's during WWII, although 1946 would obviously push it just past this period.

J_tour Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Sweet looking Rhodes -- I'm sure it doesn't sound like much, but imagine having one of those in about 40-50 years, just for the history of the machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangefunk Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 INteresting that it was electric and had its own amplification system. I bet it will go for a lot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepay Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 I love this line: "This not a Rhodes you would gig with: it is most definitely a collector's item." Whew! Glad they told me that!

The Real MC Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 That's one of his 1950s "Pre-Pianos", check out the sticker in one of the pics. I've seen a pic of Harold's WWII piano - that ain't it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a shame. Sign the body yes, but the keys? Oh well. Not like I have $100,000 sitting around anyway (unless I sold the house or cashed out my retirement savings), and if I did, I wouldn't pay that for that thing anyway.
