Intro

Rhodes

Keyboard instrument with hammer-struck metal tines which are amplified via an electromagnetic pickup plugged into an external amplifier and speaker. The first proper Fender Rhodes was released in the mid-1960s, as an improvement on an earlier design that Harold Rhodes created to provide an affordable keyboard for the military to use in therapy for recovering soldiers. The Fender Rhodes has a warm, distinctive sound that has played a major role in jazz since the late 1960s, and which has been prominently used by other popular artists and bands such as Stevie Wonder, Donny Hathaway, and Steely Dan.
