Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays!

We're just getting ready to close up shop for the holidays. We will be back next week. Hope everyone has a safe, and happy holiday!

Update 12

Well, we are down to our last Wurlitzer 200 for $1,500. This is the last of a batch we got a few months ago, that we completely rebuilt and restored. They were sitting in a shed for years and years but we were able to bring them all back to life. They are great sounding Wurlitzers, so if you want the last one you better act fast. http://www.vintagevibe.com/p-521-wurlitzer-electric-piano-200.aspx.

We have been recording some new Rhodes Repair instructional tech tip videos which you can view on our youtube, www.youtube.com/vintagevibekeyboards.

We also have a Hohner Clavinet D6 for sale which can be viewed here: http://www.vintagevibe.com/p-524-hohner-clavinet-d6.aspx.

Update 11

We are starting to have monthly raffles for anyone who purchases products through www.vintagevibe.com. This month's prize is a choice between a Rhodes Stage Vibe and a Wurlitzer Sustain Pedal. View more details here: http://www.vintagevibe.com/t-monthlycontest.aspx.

We also have a new Rhodes for sale: http://www.vintagevibe.com/p-538-rhodes-piano-stage-1975.aspx. It is a Stage Model 1975. We are selling it as a "Recession Model;" it plays and sounds great but is a little bit cheaper than some of the other Rhodes we are selling.

The Custom Black Sparkle Fender Rhodes Suitcase is also still available. Go here for more information as well as sound clips and video: http://www.vintagevibe.com/p-537-fender-rhodes-piano-suitcase-1971-custom-black-sparkle.aspx

Today we worked on a custom job with sparkle tolex, trying a few new things to make it interesting.

We finished up a Mark II Suitcase repair and restoartion for a customer today.

We are almost done with a 1969 Suitcase refurb for another customer. This piano is a prototype year because there are a few not so common parts to it. It came with all felt hammers, but no the tear drop kind.

Our head tech is working on the electronics for a rare Hohner Pianet L, which is having output issues.

We sold the last batch of our custom Wurlitzer pedals and are working on a new batch with a more improved designed. Keep an eye out for those in the future!
