I also have doubts about him ever bringing new rhodes to market. Perhaps the design work required for a rhodes would be a lot less. On the other hand, a lot of design work and programming has to go into a rompler, which costs $$$. business moron, I have no idea, I know nothing about him I would hope that the design would be improved, and also that the total weight would be a lot lowerģ - you could be right - I have no idea what kind of numbers would be madeĤ - moron in dealings with good will, no doubt about it.

1 - there's no reason it has to be manufactured exactly the same way, with exactly the same materials. I'm betting that he never makes it to market anyway. I'm betting that he never makes it to market anyway.Īnd THAT'S why it will cost at least $4000.
SCARBEE RHODES PLUS
This guy is a moron in his dealings with musician good will, but I don't think that means he will price to what the market will bear, as opposed to pricing to what it costs to make plus a tidy profit.Īnd THAT'S why it will cost at least $4000. The start-up costs just to produce 500 Rhodes pianos would be gigantic.Ĥ. This comes into play with a mostly all electronic board, being built in the 10s of thousands. Cheap labor or not, it will still be more labor intensive to build than a modern expensive rompler is.ģ. Compare that with a $4100 (list price) Nord Stage 88 - which uses a purchased mass produced action, a stamped steel case, 2 or 3 circuit boards soldered by machine, etc.Ģ. Not to mention a custom action, completely manufactured in house. A Rhodes has lots of expensive materials. Perhaps a 21st century rhodes could be manufactured for less than you think 1. I will get back to u on this as time tells. however im learning alot more about other out there. How do you know it would cost $4000? You're forgetting about cheap off-shore labour, my friend. Im still really tossing up between this and NI’s Scarbee rhodes one To tell the truth in my opinion from the sounds ive heard by both manufacturers i actually prefer the MOTU.
