Ease of Use : No Opinion
Like an Electric guitar. Plug it in and enjoy.

Features : No Opinion
What can you say other than less is more. Simple and basic features

Expressiveness/Sounds : No Opinion
Very nice expression much like a real piano.

Reliability : No Opinion
I have owned mine since 1983 and it sat in a cold damp garage for several of those years. I got the but to play it again and upon set up the unit has still been trouble free. Again the simple desighn alows for total reliability.

Customer Support : No Opinion
Plenty of support on line at various sites.

Overall Rating : No Opinion
If lost I would seek another. Samples are not quite the same.
20 YEARS ROLAND, KORG, KURZWIEL, STUDIO LOGIC, ART, PRESONUS, BEHRINGER, PEVEY, ALESSIS, LANEY, YAMAHA.
As for the Rhodes I love it. Nothing to hate..

Ease of Use : 10
Great sound. I have a 1977 Mark I which has a brighter sound than the earllier rhodes piano. it fits in the mix perfectly. controls are great and easy to use. the tremolo is one of my favorite features. I hope i can find a dyno my piano mod to add to it.

Features : 10
The keyboard action is awesome. great when you hook up the board to a chorus, tremolo, wah wah, etc. Since it doesn't have any midi capabilities built in it would be nice to add a midi retrofit.

Expressiveness/Sounds : 10
The rhodes only has one sound but you can get some awesome variations with the use of eq, effects and plug-ins.

Reliability : 10
The rhodes piano is very reliable. I haven't had a need tao repair it. it was very well taken care of by it's previous owner. Major key has a large selection of parts if something ever goes wrong

Customer Support : No Opinion
The rhodes company is long gone but it's been so reliable i wouldn't need support. even without the manual. www.Fenderrhodes.org is a great resource though.

Overall Rating : 10
the rhodes is one of the greatest instruments of all time.
