RHODES / Rhodes Stage 61

The Rhodes Stage 61 reimagines the charm of the iconic electromechanical tine piano in a portable size that’s perfect for live performances, studio sessions, and playing at home.

It features the exact same precision tines, pickups, and action mechanism as the flagship “MK8” model. Equipped with a custom keyboard optimized for the 61-key configuration, it faithfully preserves the rich, nuanced touch and expressive power unique to Rhodes—all without compromise—despite its compact size.

The circuitry—the heart of the sound—employs a passive circuit inspired by the original Rhodes stage models. Requiring no power supply and featuring a simple design with just volume and traditional tone controls, it allows you to play the unmistakably pure Rhodes sound directly simply by connecting it to an amplifier or audio interface.

Featuring a sophisticated design by Axel Hartmann, it weighs just 26 kg. This instrument allows you to take the highest-quality classic tone with you anywhere, with greater freedom.
