STILL NOTHING LIKE THE REAL THING
If you’ve made it here you probably already know. However good the emulations become, there will always be something magical about playing a real Rhodes, Wurli, Clavinet, or Pianet. What you may not know is how much better these classic pianos can be when they are set up, customized, or completely restored by technicians who know them inside and out.
