Nice vídeo man
Mk 1 and two can vary from being basically the same piano in a new shell all the way to completely different key, hammer, pick up and tine construction.
There is also extremely little similarity between the hammers of a Rhodes and an acoustic piano.
It's really an "Electric Dulcitone" because it has Metal Tuning forks Struck by Hammers (rather than strings) which are then amplified by Pickups. So Rhodes bought the Dulcitone back to life by Electrifying it.
Emm Kay one? Emm Kay Two?
I really liked your summary of the early years, though some of your info about the Mk1/2 is a little off :)
That photo at 0:44 is of Harold Dea Rhodes of the US Navy 1926-2014, NOT Harold Burroughs Rhodes 1910-2000 of the US Army who created the Rhodes piano! 😒 You may wish to re-edit this video as it's a bit disrespectful.
Loads of factual errors here.
