The beating heart of every Rhodes piano, our latest generation tine design is a direct result of many years of extensive and exhaustive research into sonic, mechanical and metallurgical properties and how those complex elements combine and interact to form the unique Rhodes sound.

Rhodes Official® tines have many benefits over our older tine designs including a tough anti-corrosion coating, carefully finished ends for optimum tine-to-pickup placement, exacting dimensions for perfect strike line every time, a perfected tine-to-block fit for optimum sustain and of course, the classic and impossible-to-emulate Rhodes tone by the bucket load.

Note: Tines are sent full length (170mm/6.7″). Refer to Tine Cutting Chart included in package. Suitable for all Rhodes and Fender Rhodes pianos.

2-3 week expected lead time from date of purchase.

Rhodes Official pickups are the culmination of many years of sonic and mechanical research and implement several new developments to maintain and elevate your Rhodes tone to new heights.

A new pickup pole shape ensures all facets of tine vibration are collected and transmitted, whilst our new mounting plate allows much more flexible positioning within the piano on a per-note basis. Our precise winding process ensures a consistent number of winds and our pickup wire is protected to prevent breakage and corrosion.

Our engineers have also carefully selected and curated our pickups to produce beautiful saturation the closer they get to the tines, whilst simultaneously ensuring an unprecedented dynamic range.

Note: Compatible with all Rhodes and Fender Rhodes pianos.

The quest for optimum tone led us to extensively develop our new Rhodes Offical grommet, screw and washer kit.

Made from a super-tough material that allows un-impeded tonebar vibration but that keeps the tone bars tightly aligned to the pickups, these grommets also have a countersunk top and washer for the best fit (first introduced on the Rhodes MKV).

This keeps the tone bars nicely in place whilst keeping the action regulation (and therefore tone) top-notch at all times.

Never underestimate the effect of new Rhodes Official grommets on your Rhodes’ tone. Also included in the kit are new-sized screws and a different grommet design for the upper tone bars to bring out optimum long sustain in the treble end of your piano.

The Grommet, Screw and Washer Set (73) includes:
146x Grommets
146x Screws
146x Washers

The Grommet, Screw and Washer Set (88) includes:
176x Grommets
176x Screws
176x Washers

Note: Suitable for Fender Rhodes and Rhodes pianos.

Simply slide onto the tonebar, play the note and listen whilst sliding the clip to find the optimum sustain. Ideally, these should be installed with fresh grommets and screws for optimum results.
