Beautiful playing, Claudio. Great tune, too. And, that's a gorgeous instrument! I think you really need a clear red top!
Why "Digital Piano"??
I need to rob a bank first before I buy this one!
how lucky are you to get ya hands on all this gear, ,,,,if only I could afford half or even a 1/4 of wot u have
@@davemackinder6518 Me more like 1/100th! But I still have fun!
the smoked top cover is just SICK
Effing MINT. Sheeeeesh.
It’s far better than red
Disgusting really! ;)
Down side is it will show scrathes easily
@@drtolgaegetransparent paint protection film might be usefull
That last minute with young Michael was intense. Very tasteful playing, so much soul
Very solemn moment. Unboxing a new piece of gear at home rates right up there with sex or the first bite of the perfect piece of pizza. I remember the day I brought my Rhodes Mark II home from West L.A. Music in Hollywood when it was located across from Graumanns Chinese Theatre. After stopping in, playing it and chatting with Charlie the salesman for about three months, I had finally saved up the obscene amount of money required to buy my first real keyboard. The twenty minute drive home took days. The excitement, the smell (the explosion of Tolemyte once the box was opened) and finally that mesmerizing sound that for my whole life, I’d only ever heard on the radio or my record player, now originated from my room! Yeah, I was with you the whole unboxing, brother.
BTW, that little slice of Michael heaven was an extremely respectful tip of the hat. Well done, Sir. I was inspired to pick up my guitar and learn it as you were playing. It came easy. The spirit of the music was here, today. Can I get an Amen?!!!
That was a sweet
Its so good to see new Rhodes being made in the 21st Century. Claudio's custom job just looks so good! The smoky transparent lid reminds me of old record players. And the sound is just so warm, soulful- amazing!
And it has a built-in vocal now!
@@JunkerSchmidt pretty sure that is Michael Jackson
@@TheRafael123456 , even better.
I prefer the smoked over the red.
I love the smell of Rhodes in the morning!
This guy seems so happy and content with what he is doing that it's infectious. If I had another lifetime to live, I think I would dedicate it to music.
never to late, buy a yamaha psr E 473 and learn some basic songs :D
E473 is great value for money and lots of fun. I play it more than my far more expensive SX900. I heartily agree - it's never too late to start.
Yeah never too late.
You can dedicated another 10 years of your life with 10 hours a week which will give you over 5k hourse of great fun!
Play! Bring joy for yourself, and if it does for you, chances are it will for others around you. I'm slowly getting back into music myself after 20+ years. It can be cathartic!
As a tech who has serviced the electronics in the Fender Rhodes, back in the day, I can say for certain, having seen the new one at Synthfest last year, that the new build quality is on a whole different level to the Fender models. Quality and I think a passion for the machine, too.
As a former owner of a 1980's Mark 3 which was built in Mexico to (I thought) a very poor standard I'd certainly hope so. I very much hope the new Rhodes finds a market though personally I won't be paying out £8000 for it. I'm in love with my Nord Grand which does a nice imitation and plenty more, which might be a problem for the new Rhodes; you've got to love it to pay out so much for a one-trick pony.
I saw it at Synthfest last year too ! Looking forward to SynthFest again THIS year :-)
@@hodghegI also have the Nord. The Rhodes sounds aren’t comparable to this. I own a Rhodes Mk1 Stage 73 I’ve gigged with for many years, but after it got soaked at Glastonbury it stays in the studio now! If I had a spare £8,000 I’d love one of these but as a working musician that’s not likely to happen, especially with gig and session fees the way they are now 😢
I want someone who loves me the way the Doctor looks at the MK8
I just closed my eyes and the world stopped for 1 minute, or was it 10? the sound of this instrument just transports me to a better place
Now THAT'S some Studio BLING! Sounds great Claudio. Guess there's still a company interested in making not just instruments, but works of ART.
This is THE Greatest Unboxing Video Ever made..Period.
The Rhodes has finally got a build to match it's prominence. There is nothing like the Rhodes or B-3. Just an outstanding thing to have a dream version of such a legend with that legendary sound intact and even augmented! Thanks for sharing Claudio! We need tracks now. Pls. 😂
First time MJ ever brought tears to my eyes. Bravo Sir, and RIP MJ.❤
The sound that comes out of a Rhodes is just pure…emotion and warmth. It’s such an iconic sound.
9:12 Instant Weather Report! What an amazing instrument.
I could watch you jam on Rhodes piano all day. So soulful.
Excellent video. I'll admit I cried a little when I heard Michael's isolated vocals with the Rhodes, that was really great at the end. Resurrected a lot of old memories from a bygone era in music and my childhood.
If Michael Jackson were alive, I'm sure he would take his hat off to this version of the song. You are the best, no words for this version. Thanks for sharing it with us.😍
Oh. My. Gosh! I totally got vicarious giddy vibes right along with you guys unboxing this absolute treasure... especially knowing they're made up here in sunny Leeds! Just seeing the joy in your face... awww, may your juicy apple-red Rhodes give you that feeling every time you play it.
I’ve never been so jealous of and so happy for someone at the same time before! What a masterpiece!
The transparent cover is for me ! Sick !! The red altered the fine design.
So...is this the new Rhodes you were talking about in the Rhodes factory visit? YES!!! Very cool...
Every time I read the Rhodes name Riders on the Storm instantly starts playing in my head.
Please make a 10 hour loop of you just screwing around with this. I'd watch it twice a day.
experiencing the variable pan with in ear monitors had me in awe
Beautiful instrument, when you unwrapped it, I was already thinking: "What? No red lid?!?", but of course, that came afterwards.
But... That strong voice of 11-years-old MJ... Got me completely emotional, I like your subtile Rhodes accompaniment really over the original Motown production: it gives so much more room to this superb and powerful kid's voice! Love it! ❤
BTW: if you're getting low on space, be careful putting your keyboard instruments too close to each other: they might replicate... 😉
Such a rich distinctive Rhodes sound. Sooooo many great hits with that instrument. Your playing brought back deep memories of listening to those historical mixes - spot on playing!
aah this is the one you chose at the factory! - Love love love this sound
What a beautiful instrument! An old used "Mark II" was my 1st piano I bought (around 1987).
Greetings from Switzerland,
Markus🇨🇭
Seein The Rhodes company still makin electric pianos today makes me happy as hell
Stunning instrument…stunning performance of that Jackson 5 classic!👏🏾👏🏾🔥🔥🔥
Between Michael's raw vocal track and Claudio's masterful accompaniment, I was in tears...
@@janasorensen2556 Me too! 🤣
Dammmmnnnn! It's a thing of beauty for sure!!! I love how freaking excited you were, so very happy for you. 😊
At 8:30 is so trippy hearing it split left and right channels. Awesome man!
If you should define warmth...this is it! Great to see the enthusiasm of you all when unboxing and plugin the instrument. You can not explain this feeling to friends or your partner, only tot gearheads like us. I loved it!
My word, that is gorgeous. The sound, the looks. Speechless.
That phaser was majestic
What a beauty and what a sound. Makes me remember playing in my old band, where the Rhodes was the main Keyboard. Heavy to carry and building up can make angry. But then there came the first sound! And then i know why we made this 😀
Please Mate, do a longer Video for the crowd!
Yes Claudio ! And instantly at 7:24, the magic is here !! Wonderful !!
It's always exciting getting a new music toy, guitar, pedal, piano, keyboard.... this was next level. Great to see you guys living it up.
That is a fantastic machine and I love listening to it paired with about 13 or 14 year old Michael Jackson's funky R&B vocals when he recorded "Never can say goodbye". World Class keyboard and vocals.
Oh my goodness ! You even have the walnut - wow top notch!
How do you do this, that magical enchantment, when you play the keys?!?! This is now my new fav video, because of the gorgeous playing of the new Rhodes alongside the amazing voice of young MJJ.. That performance almost had me in tears. You made the music come alive!!! May you continue to stay oh so blessed!
Sincerely Adam aka Damyara
Ai?
Sounds great and I love your duet with Michael. ❤
I had a feeling during this video that I’m also the owner of something incredible that I have been waiting for so long) Happy for you, man!
this right here is the most precise description of the enjoyment
Behold the successor to the piano itself.
man...the Rhodes sound. It tickles the brain. Just gorgeous. Congrats on the top notch equipment upgrade.
I was so amazed by the Rhodes but then came your jam with MJ and i was stunned...Wow!!!
Damn, the sound, the style! That pan was hypnotic in my Sony XM4s.
Honestly loved it with the clear top and wood finish. A black base with the red top would just take it over the top for me!
Lovely playing!
The sound of a Rhodes is so magical…one of my most favorite sounds on this earth!
Especially with the phaser.
Mine too and i'm a guitar player
@@neurokinetikthat phaser was out of this world
I went from mesmerized to stank face to tears. Such an incredible sound. Amazing playing too!
Nothing beats the songs of the 60’s and 70’s with a Fender Rhodes and a Hammond B3! 😎
12 thousand views. 11 thousand are mine. Claudio continues to show what a "content creator" truly is. Thank you for this one. This was incredible.
Damn that is a work of art
Fantastic to see a skilled piano musician like you explore that amazing instrument. Huge fan of the Rhodes sound ;)
That is beautiful! I love the transparent lid! Every time I see a Rhodes, I can't help but think of George Duke.
Rhodes piano is one of the most beautiful sounds ever created
Magical performance Claudio! The Rhodes is intoxicating.
Beautiful instrument, and the sound is mega... when he said "phaser" i jumped a bit from my seat...lol
listening only MJ voice and Claudio playing Rhodes it's something so sublime that gives me chills
"That's it - I'm gonna pass out" 🤣🤣🤣🤣Nobody could ever say that Doctor Mix is not passionate about his gear 🎹🎹❤❤🎹🎹❤❤🎹🎹❤❤
That is a BEAUTIFUL instrument. I’m so jealous! Very nice riffs too…and playing with MJ…FABULOUS!
Speechless..💗Rhodes is Rhodes...💯👍
I'm diggin' how much you're diggin' it! You're enthusiasm is contagious😊
That arrangement of the Jackson 5 was even better than the original. Fantastic performance
So well done. Thumbs up to yourself and Rhodes. Awesome playing and an awesome instrument worthy of your talent.
Greetings from Australia 😎
So chuffed to see this! I don't think I could really feel more excited and happy for you, Dr. Mix!
♥️♥️♥️♥️
🎹🎹🎹🎹
The most beautiful Rhodes I have ever seen !!! .. enjoy the sound .. and the smell of new gear (while it lasts!)😄
One of my favorite songs of Michael..and the sound of the new mk8 is just.... just.... smooth as honey...thank you for this.
That classic Rhodes sound.... Just amazing and beautiful!!!
Rhodes was born for a long time and today is still a legend, like B3 organ. Manufacturing Rhodes pianos today is wonderful.
for my taste, nothing sounds better than a Rhodes. That smoke top is SO GOOD too.
Incredibly beautiful! So glad they still make them!
A true master admiring a masterpiece of the other one. Magnificent! Your facial expressions when you play are so genuine.
omg what an awesome instrument. I am so glad they are succeeding with bringing this remarkable electric back to the market.
Oooh! Love that Rhodes sound!
Nothing sounds like a Fender Rhodes. I have memories of this sound from a very young age, when my father had and played one. We were talking about this very recently, and he said himself that the sound of the Rhodes was one he really liked. And he's always been picky about his piano sound... And to top it off, he plugged it into a Leslie cabinet 😯
What a gorgeous instrument!
Loved the smell tests 😄 they always make unpacking new gear even more enjoyable!
rhe mk8 is THE ultimative instrument ! Quality and sound is from another world
That rodes sounds amazing!!!!!!!!!
My God, what a beautiful sound!😮
I love the tuning and tone of an actual acoustic/electric instrument. Lots of little blemishes and little imperfections that make it sound so incredibly good. 👍🤪
Not much words from the moment your Rhodes gets plugged in.
Just enjoyment shining from kids eyes!
What a beautiful warm sound.
Had a Mark 1 back in the 70’s. Sooooo jealous, this sounds amazing.
The sound is amazing 😮 what a groove 🤯
Dude this is beyond epic. Looks and sounds amaze balls!
Sounds absolutely amazing.
That is a beautiful looking and sounding piece of kit. That transparent cover to the rear section 🤩 Thanks for the unboxing and performance.
Beautiful sound and great playing. Goosebumps so liked and subscribed!!
That gear is absolutely gorgeous and sounds incredible
Michael’s pitch was so perfect, and your hands were so smooth.
What an incredible blend❤
Wow… all the warmth & soul brought into modern times! Such gorgeous tone and beautiful playing dude. And what a killer idea playing to Micheals isolated vocals, perfect!
Great tribute to the young michael, It always gives me goosebumps to hear him as a kid.
He gave a lot of kids goosebumps
@@ghostphoto1789Your mom wasn't harmed. Stay shut
GORGEOUS. I am new here, so I don't know if what all you played were originals or established recorded songs, but everything you played made me feel so incredibly goooooood.
The smell (and sound) of a new Rhodes is amazing!
Just fantastic. Claudio you deserve this instrument so well.
Absolutely amazing, what a beautiful instrument enjoy Claudio 🤩🤩🤩
There are two "reference" sounds for Fender Rhodes in my head: Jan Hammer's intro to "Miles Beyond" by the Mahavishnu Orchestra and the first verse of Gary Wright's "Dream Weaver" played by David Foster. My music collection has many other examples of great Rhodes playing but those two stick out. I bought a beat-up Stage 73 in the early 1990s for restoration and I got pretty far with it - I even fabricated new polyurethane hammer tips according to "hot rod" hardnesses. I had the harp frame and tone bars replated early in the process. But it seemed like each step I needed to take got progressively harder to accomplish and I eventually sold it.
deeply happy for you Claudio! what a rewarding instrument!!!!
