Musicians

One company in New Jersey actually reverse-engineered the Rhodes and built a new, lighter and arguably better instrument. Stevie Wonder uses this new keyboard on his tours today.

When my stuff needed to be fixed, I considered selling or repairing. The Rhodes repairs cost about $2,250 and the Wurlitzer was just under $2,000. While that's a lot of money, (I used my first stimulus check for the Wurly!), the keyboards were not really usable in their aged states. I decided that they were my best musical friends and so got them repaired. I love them more than ever though I will never gig with them again. They're too damn heavy!
