Here at the shop we simply use a phone app strobe tuner to tune our pianos. Tuning a Vintage Vibe piano is incredibly easy, so much so, that anyone without any experience can easily tune our pianos. Just remove the lid, remove three screws from the harp frame and you are ready to begin tuning. Strike a note and see if it is sharp or flat, then lift the harp about 6 inches enough to fit your arm under and reach in to gain access to the tine you are tuning. Each tine has a tuning spring, pull the spring closer to you to raise the pitch or push the spring closer to the pickup to lower the pitch. It is that simple! Alternatively, you can stretch tune your piano but going forward you will be a slave to keeping up with that type of tuning. If at any point a note or two or more goes out you cannot simply tune it straight with a tuner. There is a formula to stretch tuning that must be adhered to, otherwise your piano will play out of tune. If you are not a piano tuner, this method will cost you money to keep your piano in tune. The results of stretch tuning an acoustic piano are obvious and necessary. In our opinion, stretch tuning a Vintage Vibe Piano or a Rhodes piano is neither necessary or worth the time and money. Your personal ideas may be different and that is fine and up to you how you handle your tuning.

How Long does it take to receive my piano?

Our shop consists of a ten-person team, and we split our duties between building Vintage Vibe Pianos and offering full restorations and repairs on vintage pianos. We usually have 20 to 40 Vintage Vibe pianos at any given time on our build board and an equal amount of vintage pianos in for work. This pace keeps our build time around three months. Factors like a heavy build schedule or supply chain issues can increase lead times. The good news is that Vintage Vibe pianos in 2025 and beyond are the best pianos we have ever designed and built. So what are a few months for a piano that will be with you for life?

Designed for Players. Built for Life.

The Marquis 73 is the culmination of decades of research, musician feedback, and engineering precision. From our patented Dual Capstan Action to our exclusive True-Tone Tines—modeled after the best of early MK1-era instruments—this piano was built for serious players who demand the best.

The hand-wired electronics, finely machined hardware, and precision-calibrated keybed deliver a sound and feel that honors the original while setting a new benchmark for modern electro-mechanical pianos. The True-Tone Tines produce beautiful, round fundamentals under a light touch, and the longest harmonic decay of any tine piano we’ve built—capturing the nuance and warmth of the most cherished vintage instruments without compromise.

Every Marquis is wrapped in durable Tolex-style vinyl, features an anodized aluminum name rail, and reveals a chrome-accented ABS lid with our signature “V” scoop—a modern homage to the legendary Rhodes aesthetic. Whether in the studio, on tour, or as the centerpiece of your collection, the Marquis 73 elevates performance, design, and craftsmanship.
