I'm watching this video over and over just to hear the music. 👍🏻 I hear the following instruments; Clavinet, Rhodes, Bass, Drums and percussion. Anyhting else?
Thanks Simon! In the first track yes. Same in the second track but I was using analog lab for pads. I think there is some organ in the first track as well. So glad you’re enjoying the music. Here’s a playlist I made of all the music I’ve recorded on. open.spotify.com/user/klaatuniktu/playlist/7fUvLiW4vlmze0TpxvIeS0?si=6lsGhmYeTPuOrX8tiyHXKw
Che lavoro ! Praticamente lo ha rifatto , ha registrato i martelletti , ha cambiato i tamponi che erano appiattiti , altro non so , certo che ci avevano suonato sopra diverse ore per consumarlo cosi’ , ma ora e’ come nuovo , noi avevamo un 88 tasti , io suonavo la batteria, quando attaccava non riuscivo a stare fermo e il Charleston si apriva e si chiudeva da solo… 🤫🤫
Thanks Mojo! Here is a playlist of songs I’ve recorded and guested on. Be sure to check out some of my other videos as well. I’ll have a lot more coming out soon! open.spotify.com/user/klaatuniktu/playlist/7fUvLiW4vlmze0TpxvIeS0?si=kMEz-RdhSIWshU5Vlpqxow
@@labarthefrederic1294 oh man that’s awesome!! It’s only available on here. But the rest of my music is on Spotify open.spotify.com/user/klaatuniktu/playlist/7fUvLiW4vlmze0TpxvIeS0?si=EgbANvjOTa65TsRLHIm1kw
No trumpet but sounds like the better bits of Miles Davis in the fusion period. I like Rhodes as dry as possible but I did like the effects on this. It's crazy how live it sounds.
I have a '71 Mark 1A Seventy-Three I am just now getting around to starting my tune-up and refurb. Bought it 6 years ago for $700. Excellent inside condition, not so much outside. This video was awesome and shows that it can be done efficiently with the proper procedures. Good stuff. Thanks!
great work Kris! I'm just stunned n watched the whole thing with pure pleasure, first time seeing that kinda work, too. Such a fluent work. I wonder, how many hours you put in this beautiful rhodes?
You bring up an excellent point! Thank you. I am on all music streaming apps as Kris Yunker but I'll put a link up of a Spotify playlist with all of my music
well done - a great sounding overhaul. question - when you removed the stock shims on the side supports, did you find you had to raise the bass side up higher than the treble side? and if so, do you recall what size shims you installed? currently in the process of resetting escapement on a 75 suitcase and after removing the stock shims, i have hit a snag. any tips would be greatly appreciated!
Awesome video. At 3:33 it looks like the key pedestals already have those little bumpers installed, were these a feature in 1974 or was the "miracle mod" added already at some point? EDIT: Doy.. had I only waited one minute I would have learned that at 4:33 you answered this question..!! Cattywampus indeed..!
Thanks for this - great to see! A couple of questions if you don't mind...I noticed that you set the escapement by installing shims, after you did the voicing. I had read in the service manual that escapement should be adjusted by raising/lowering the tone bar assembly, and that after this, you then carry out voicing. Did I miss you 'tweaking' the escapement after you installed the shims, and did you then have to re-voice after that too? And one more question...I saw you replaced some tines....what was it about those tines that made you need to replace them? Thanks again for a great video!
Escapement from raising or lowering the tone bar assembly won’t effect the voicing. That will happen if you raise or lower the closest screw on the tone bar to the keys. It raises and lowers the escapement as well and will affect the position of the tine. The front screw closest to the tine will adjust your voicing. Hope that makes sense. Also those tines were drifting out of tune, decayed quickly and sounded dull.
Wow! Awesome man! Thanks for taking the time to make this. What was the estimated costs for a full repair like this. I was recently blessed with one passed down from my grandpa. It’s a Rhodes Mark II stage piano. One day I would love to repair it, have it sounding like it should.
This is really helpful. Sounds like a good job man. Action looks a shit load better too. Difficulty rating for this? Just about to get one which is why im asking. Did you redo the tolex too?
Nicely done. Btw- how many hours did it take you? I bought a 73 stage new in the 70’s but sold it in 87 unfortunately. Retro is a good thing except for the weight factor of the Rhodes.
@@KrisYunker Kris, back in the day I had Dyno My Piano do some work on my Rhodes that was quite an improvement, but the new overhauled models out of VVP are off the hook.
@@KrisYunker Excellent video, I loved hearing you play as well as the care and expertise of the restore. My neighbor has a week 44 1974 suitcase 88 that looks like it never saw the road. I will be getting a concert later today. Trying to find a home for her!
Thank you. I just got an 81 Suitcase. Love it but that upper register sounds a bit like a kids toy piano. Tells me I do not need to replace the hammer tips which I was not looking forward to.
Hal Perez well, take a look at those tips though. If they are worn down heavily than I would suggest replacing. It’s one of those things that just needs to happen every so often depending on the amount of playing it gets. A new set is not too expensive. It’s a little labor intensive doing the cleaning but get a good playlist of music going it breezes by.
Oh Thanks! It's my original music! I haven't released it yet. But If you dig it maybe I should. I have a bunch of music out on Spotify here open.spotify.com/playlist/7fUvLiW4vlmze0TpxvIeS0?si=f2ae8a711f4e4781
Hey Kris, great job btw! Question: I have this exact same Fender Rhodes, stage 73, from 1974. I don't know where you are located, or if you do repairs, but if you do, what would you charge to do the same on mine? Not asking for a friend either ,lol.
Hey Stephen! Thanks for the kind words ! Go to krisyunker.com for more details but yes I do work on Rhodes and other vintage boards and pianos at my studio. cheers!
@@KrisYunker for some reason, some techs are telling me that if you’ve already got the Marcel curve than you don’t need the bump mod, but my action sucks big donkey dicks even though the piano sounds fantastic.
