Vintage 1981 Fender Rhodes Mark II Stage 88 Piano - Studio parked, for sale by original owner.
Moving to a smaller place and must part with my classic Stage 88 piano. Since i purchased it in 1981, the instrument has resided in the studio, indoors and always in a climate controlled space. This piano has never seen the rigors of the road life, so its in really nice condition for its age. Over the years, it has provided faithful service on some tracks here and there, but generall...y has not seen a lot of wear. I have provided photos of the outside and inside, and you can see its all original, including the factory stock pedal, legs, and top.
The instrument plays well and provides that classic tine sound, and the pots are in great shape so control is not an issue. The only cosmetic considerations for this unit are 1) a missing rubber cap (foot) for one of the front metal legs, and there is some slight corrosion on the plating on the some chrome parts (handle, corner protector). Considering its about 38 years old, its really a gem.
The winning bid also gets the original manual, spare tines and weights kit, and a copy of the Rhodes Service manual. They went into a file cabinet after purchase, so they are still here for the next owner.
This classic instrument is big and its heavy, so local pickup is the preferred method for handing it over. If the buyer wants to ship if freight, i am willing to help prepare it, but will need some coin to cover wrapping it up for shipment and putting it on a pallet.
I am going to miss this treasure, but downsizing means I must let it go to a good home, hopefully to the right new owner who will appreciate it for the classic sound and feel that led me to purchase it from Sam Ash in White Plains way back in the day.
All questions welcome.
Happy Bidding!On Jul-13-19 at 09:50:31 PDT, seller added the following information:Shipping Update: Instead of picking it up here in 28405, for shipping this item the following info is useful. Adding in extra dimensions for protective packaging, the piano is:
Length: 56"Width: 12"Height: 26"Weight: 160 lbs.
I can facilitate shipping the piano, I can wrap this item well for shipment and place on a pallet (I will need $15 for materials to protect the piano exterior) and the buyer will need to arrange for the shipment with their chosen shipper. I suggest standard carriers or a service like uship.com that can provide more aggressively priced options to get the piano to the winning bidder.
