Hey there, Toby used a Rhodes suitcase piano, like this one (I recorded the Rhodes part from that track):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMB-T5RhU74
I love the sound of the Rhodes more than any other musical instrument in the world - I'm very lucky that mine is such a great-sounding one.
I remember when I first heard this, I was probably about 13/14 and I loved the sound so much I asked my Mum if she knew what it was. It was about the same time I was discovering Headhunters, so it all came together in the end..

Thanks! I've been playing for many years - I started when I was 4 and have been classically trained ever since. It was when I first heard Herbie and Jamiroquai and other bands using the Rhodes that I knew what I had to do...
I've just checked out taki76's stuff - some of it is great, I love the bass riff in 'Seed Of The Serpent' - in fact, the only thing missing is a nice slab of funky Rhodes or some nasty Clavinet

Wow, very cool. Your Chameleon cover is also very nice. I really enjoyed listening to taki76's music. He sounds great.
Do you make original compositions? I would like to hear something you made. |

It sounds good, I'm sure people on the fender rhodes forum have mentioned the scarbee before too. The emulator in Logic pro is pretty good. I can still tell the difference between those and my own Rhodes, but I'm sure they are a very handy tool for songwriting and a great substitute for anybody who doesn't have a Rhodes.

I have been writing and I'm still trying to finish some songs. Here's hoping that I can get everything together in 2011!
I have one song that I wrote that's already been recorded (by a band that's now defunct) - it's called Brazilian Wax and you can get it here:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/the-blue-barn-sessions/id332067561
(and you can listen to the whole track here but my myspace page is messed up):
http://www.myspace.com/tomogrady
The question is, did I use a real Rhodes on that track?!

Brazilian Wax is pretty good. I'll be looking forward to your new songs when you finish them. Uhh, not too sure about the rhodes. Sounds close enough if it isn't. |
