Rhodes MK8 Piano Order Process:

At Rhodes Music Ltd, each MK8 piano is meticulously handcrafted by skilled Rhodes master craftsmen, making each instrument a unique creation. Due to the specialized nature of this process, Rhodes Music produces approximately 50 pianos per month.

Order Fulfillment Process:

• All MK8 pianos are built in the order they are received. For instance, if your purchase is order #273, your piano will be built immediately following order #272. Depending on demand, there may be a waiting period before your custom MK8 piano is ready for assembly.
