Just downloaded the MP4 for $9: http://www.fenderrhodesstory.com/ What a nice movie. From 2011 apparently.

I absolutely agree. Did the same thing last year.

There's also a lot to be said about the countless changes the MK I alone went through and that went well beyond the transition from "Fender Rhodes" to just "Rhodes." There's actually an article in the current Keyboard magazine about this.

That motivates me to pick up the full movie -- I watched a bunch of the free content they put up on youtube. I particularly love the snippet from the Herbie interview where he's talking about having to learn how to fix it himself cause his used to break down so often. I definitely know that feeling.
