RHODES known or written as Fender

Bought the Chroma from ARP (when they died), so the synth era of Rhodes wasn't that long, but you surely remember the Rhodes stage Piano.

Als Synthesizerschmiede ansich garnicht bekannt, wohl aber für das berühmte Rhodes Stage Piano. Sie kauften von ARP den Chroma, lange ging das leider nicht und man zug sich bald wieder zurück.
