Restorations

We have a few piano restorations for sale. Recently we sold a Hohner Clavinet Pianet Duo, a Rhodes 1974 88 key stage piano, a Fender Rhodes 1972, a Wurlitzer 200A, among others but we still have a nice stock of great vintage instruments.

We have two 1966 silver sparkle top Fender Rhodes suitcase pianos which are excellent pianos. We have a 1972 Fender Rhodes Mark I suitcase as well.

There are a few different Wurlitzers in stock including two 112's, a 140B, and a couple 200s (one comes with an original Wurlitzer hard case) and 200As. These won't last long so be sure to get them while you still can.

Fender Rhodes Parts Manufactured

Yes it has been a while since our last post. Summer has kept us very busy with touring season at hand. We are even busier now that the fall season is approaching and customers are looking to stock up as well as customers looking to buy that perfect gift.

We have been eagerly awaiting our new products we have been manufacturing this past summer.
Tone bar grommets like the originals
Tone Bar screws nickel plated like the old Fender Rhodes pianos, with the nice shoulder under the head of the screw for allowing the tone bar to pop.
New "Relic" Hammer Tips made firmer for a better attack and articulation
We have designed a replacement Damper arm for the fender Rhodes single strip damper pianos. These will replace the old worn out dampers. Very Much needed item.

We have made another batch of our Pratt and reed Synthesizer key bushings

Hohner Clavinet hammmer tips just like the originals " Orange"

We are keeping a big secret to ourselves but we have plans for something pretty major to happen.

Lot's more going on we will fill you in soon...

Another Update

Haven't posted in awhile - it's been pretty busy here at the shop.

We have a few new keyboards that will be for sale soon. We'll have a Wurlitzer 200A, A Fender Rhodes 1972 Stage, a Fender Rhodes 1972 Suitcase, a 1966 Silver Sparkle Top Suitcase, and a Vox continental organ.

As for new products we have a new rebuild kit for the Rhodes Power Module which you can find here: http://www.vintagevibe.com/p-649-fender-rhodes-peterson-amp-module-rebuild-kit.aspx

In the near future we will also have reproduction dampers for the Rhodes piano.

Our elite, Vintage Vibe Aristocrats program is going strong. Any customer that orders 10 times or more through the website will receive a discount on all their purchases from then on.

There are a few special project in the works to keep an eye out for so be ready for that.

Busy

We recently just finished a big project of getting three Suitcase Rhodes 88 for a tour.

The shop is still full of repairs including a rare Wurlitzer 106 piano as well as a Fender Rhodes 49 note Silver Sparkle top. You can catch a glimpse of these keyboards on our flickr page here: www.flickr.com/photos/vintagevibe/sets/ as well as see the 106 in action here: www.youtube.com/vintagevibekeyboards.

We are hard at work on all these repairs as well as putting together some new tech videos to share with all of you. Keep an eye out for all the new additions.

Farfisa Organs and Etc.

We have added a Farfisa section to the website and we are starting to sell more Farfisa parts. We've been doing Farfisa repairs for awhile, but now we will be selling individuall components as well as restored organs in the near future.

Our Wurlitzer reeds have been a success among customers and are selling well. They really are a perfect recreation of the original.

Also, our new back check mods are available and have been a much needed addition to many pianos.

There are only two of our Wurlitzer 200As in stock so don't miss your chance. These are the nicest we've seen and we don't know when we will come across more like it. We also have a Wurlitzer 200 for sale as well as a 140B.

We have sold the Fender Rhodes pianos we have had in stock but will have more in the future.

Wurlitzer Reeds

Vintage Vibe is excited to announce that we are the first to recreate a clone of the original Wurlitzer factory reed. These are as good as the original reeds or better. Sonically, visually they are identical to the original Wurlitzer factory reeds. They are fashioned after the 200A style reeds and side by side with the originals no one could tell the difference - in person or on record. These reeds will not break like past reproduction reeds made by us and other companies. These are the reeds of the future, when the original Wurlitzer factory reeds are gone our reeds will keep these instruments alive. These will be the new standard reeds and can be replaced with any original for equal tone, level and longevity.

Also, we now have new Fender Rhodes back checks mods which are a great improvement to many Rhodes pianos. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Vk-nNd4PRo

Update 18

April is here and the shop is full of repairs. We have a couple Hohner Clavinets in for repair, a Wurlitzer 140B, a Farfisa, and a couple Vox organs among other things.

We've sold a few of the Wurlitzer 200As but still have some left. We have a few Rhodes for sale still- A Rhodes 1977, two suitcase Fender Rhodes 1971 s, and Fender Rhodes 1972 Stage/Suitcase Top. We have samples of all the pianos being played on our youtube page, www.vintagevibe.com/vintagevibekeyboards. These are all excellent keyboards so don't miss out on owning one.

There will be a few new items we will be offering soon and we will let you all know once it is completed, but we are all pretty excited about it.

Until then take care and have a Happy Easter.
