David Ell is a true Rhodes expert and an extremely skilled tech. I've had two Rhodes restored by him, first a Mark II a few years back, and now a Mark I. The Mark I was virtually unplayable when I brought it to David, and through painstaking work he transformed into the most amazing Rhodes I've ever played or heard. That piano is pure magic. A warm, rich and yet articulated tone, and perfect action. David added his own custom preamp, which helps cut the muddiness without compromising the warmth and clarity of the Rhodes sound. David is always very helpful, incredibly committed, and what he charges for his work is more than reasonable. I cannot recommend him highly enough. |

My 1974 Rhodes was pretty good before I had David restore it (actually it was more than a restoration; it was a transformation). Now it is among the best I've ever played. His custom pre-amp emphasized the entire range of the keyboard, and provided coloration that was previously impossible. The action is even and dependable. The tuning precise. I love my Rhodes and highly recommend the work of David Ell. Thank you David. |

Total Hack. I am going through a Rhodes that he "refurbished" (runied). Wood shims on the hammers, screws half way put it, key pins bent with pliers jaws scarring...it goes on and on. Sloppy sloppy work. Avoid at all costs. |

Total hack and also weird as can be. AVOID! Totally a non professional and you're better off buying parts and doing it yourself. |

Strongly would not recommend. Not someone to do business with. Take your Rhodes to someone who can do quality work. |

I took my 73 Rhodes to Dave to refurbish. When I got my Rhodes back, the sound is amazing!
The keys had notes taped to them when I got it. He removed and cleaned them off. Then he modified them to give me smoother action. If you need service he is the person you want to use. He is conveniently located in the Pacific Northwest. |
