Frequently Asked Questions

Passive design results in a more immediate, raw tone with less coloration; it's closer to the original Rhodes experience but lacks the flexibility of powered models.
While not an exact replica, the Kluge action captures the feel and responsiveness of vintage Rhodes actions, known for their sensitivity and nuanced touch.
While mono, it provides a very authentic sound; modern interfaces can easily handle a mono signal and many players prefer the classic, single-voice Rhodes sound.
