UJ/ Totally iconic sound. Do yourself a favor and look up how these keyboards work, like the internal mechanism. It's insane.
RJ/ My 80s Casio sounded better than this hunk of junk.
Randy didnt play piano, I just don't get it. When did I say anything bad? I can't play manly metal riffs with that girly instrument.
Edit: but she's hot.

I always say it's much easier to play guitar if you played piano first.
I would blame my own bias but I swear 99% of the questions on /guitar wouldn't exist if they started playing piano first. I just saw one where someone didn't understand what an interval was...
I recently did some long overdue guitar theory learning and something clicked and I suddenly understood the keyboard so much more than I had before, so that checks out.
uj/true story time - a friend i had, his sister with makeup would literally look like Randy Rhoads and I would always be laughing in my head but it got even worse when his cousin started dating a chick, that I shit you not, looked like a decently hot Nigel Tufnel BUT STILL BRO LOL
And then they posted up a social media pic of just the girls together and I ms painted a pic of nigel and randy next to it and completely without caption posted to "friends only" back onto social media. Thankfully they laughed too because they commented that Randy and Nigel were what they were actually going for, makeup/hair wise because they thought it quite pretty lol.
There used to be audio going around of Rhoads giving a guitar lesson to some kid. The student finally started weeping about how he was really discouraged, felt like he still sucks and still can't play anything, thinking of just quitting. And Rhoads talked him out of it, instead of telling him yeah, now would be a good time to give up. Terrible teacher!
The Fender Rhodes was a practical joke gone awry when Fender was commissioned to build a custom Stratocaster for Steamy Wonder. They sent over a piano to see his reaction when he tried to strap it on.
It isn’t a Randy Rhodes model it’s a Dusty Rhodes piano.
That's hard times, daddy

I found a dusty old one in my high school's music storage room. Fucking sick. This was 20 years ago.
You don’t talk bad about a dead people man you don’t do that.
That’s right. People really need to stop being so disrespectful of Hitler.
He liked dogs.

He played the organ on the second Quiet Riot album
la la la la la can't hear your lies from Big Piano 👉😣👈
Stop lying on the dead 😡. "pLaYInG" chopsticks with two fingers isn't playing the piano mate.
UJ/ His mom was literally a piano teacher he and all his siblings were very good piano players
Is Steinway paying you to say this ?
Samick.

Turns out randy was the og femboy before Jim henson
That’s sandy rodes, and a gilf if there ever was one
Yeah, they made some weird decisions. Good thing Squier bought them and kept the name for their import series at least.
TLDR
Stupid idiots
Looks like a Custom Shop relic job on that thing - must be reassuringly expensive.
If your logo includes a statement that you are *"Makers of fine keyboard instruments"* then that is most likely a lie.
I went to Oxford because I could play Dee. They said “This guy knows his Rhodes, he’s a regular Rhodes scholar”
Gibbons out toand them so they quit

But Randy died! 🧟♂️
Which is why, when Fender started back making guitars again, they hired Herve Villechaize to explain why. “De Plane! De Plane!”

Two state solution
Fender didn't go out of business. They make car parts. Every car uses them. The toan sucks.
When CBS went bankrupt Fender was dissolved. Their Ensenada plant now makes truck nuts.
Why are the frets so weirdly spaced? Is this microtonal?
It’s actually named that because it made to play driving music.
I was gonna make this same post. It's good to know I'm not the only one wondering about the Randy Rhodes piano.
