I serendipitously ended up with a Rhodes that looked in nice shape, but after messing around with it for a while, it wasn’t really anything like what I had expected it to be in regard to sound or playability. I brought it to Vintage Vibe based on all the great reviews out there, and entrusted them to do their thing to it. I had expected modest improvement all around, but what I got back felt and sounded like a whole new instrument!

The action was so much lighter and responsive. I had a much wider range of dynamics, and sustain at both far ends of the keybed was so alive compared to the best I was able to get out of it. The overall tone of the piano is much more in line with what I had in my head, and I can only imagine it sounding better and better as my playing improves.

All my communication with them was great. They helped me figure out what exactly I was looking to have improved, they didn’t try to get me to do any work that wasn’t needed, they got everything done much quicker than I had anticipated, and the price was more than fair for the quality of work they did.

Bonus points for getting to look around and see all kinds of unusual instruments in the shop and letting me spend a good bit of time playing with one of their house built Vintage Vibe pianos. That voicing control is an outstanding upgrade, and the build quality and action is feather light. I was also shocked to learn how much of it is made with local manufacturing.

It’s a great bunch of people here that really know their stuff. If you’re thinking about breathing some life back into your Rhodes, don’t hesitate to bring it here. Cannot recommend them enough.
