Fender Rhodes

The Fender Musical Instruments Corporation is a reputed maker of guitars, basses, amplifiers and similar equipments. Since its establishment in 1946, Fender has played a significant role in the transformation of various music genres like rock ’n’ roll, rhythm and blues, country, western and jazz. Fender offers several types of pianos too such as the Fender Rhodes Piano.

The Rhodes piano is a type of electric piano that produces a characteristically fat sound that features good sustenance and a bell-like character. With the aid of modifications, the musician could contrast the rough and melodious sound for an impressive performance. The difference between the Rhodes Piano and the conventional piano is that the depression of a key in the Rhodes piano makes the hammer strike the tines instead of different sets of strings. The tines are the short, rigid metal rod in one arm of the asymmetrical tuning forks of the Rhodes piano.

Several famous artists have played the Fender Rhodes piano since the original PianoBass was introduced at the end of the 1950s. There have been many different models of the Fender Rhodes made since then. In case of any problems with your instrument, you need to approach skilled persons specialising in repairing Fender Rhodes models. Fender Rhodes spare parts are widely available in the UK.
