Legend Vs Rhodes

/ @nickfoleyuk
Here is a straight shootout between my Fender Rhodes Stage Mark II and the new Legend 70's compact, available right now from @bonnersmusic in Milton Keynes and Eastbourne.
Which will sound best? How close will it be? Let's find out!

The beauty of the Rhodes is it's simplicity. You sit and play and enjoy. You concentrate on the music because you know the sound is exactly as it's meant to be. No need to tweak & test & tweak some more to try and get it to sound as close as possible to the sound of an iconic instrument because it already is that iconic instrument. Just because we live in a digital world doesn't mean we have like it. 🤣 But I do love your videos always👍👍

It would have been more interesting to adjust the legend via software to the original. You can edit how close the mic and how hard the fork sounds.......i think it´s possible to make it sound quite close to the original.

Obviously you can’t beat the original, but the Legend is pretty nice….😊

das Mitteband am Legend ist meiner Meinung nach falsch eingestellt. Ich habe eine Legend und es klingt sehr gut.

Great vid. I just got a yamaha ck88 and I thought the rhodes sound was s bit dull but its a good match for your rhodes. Now Im happy. The legend is brighter. Could it be an age thing. You mentioned in hammond video that they get duller as they age is it the same with the rhodes?

It's The Fender Rhodes Hands Down

..But in All Fairness I Will Say The Legends a Nice Piece of Gear.

Yo cant beat the Original rodhes but the other in my opinión is more versátile and practícal for the Studio records. The legend has more high end and the original Rodhes has that low end. Sorry my English

[@TheAndonen]

Yes, it's pretty noticable but I guess it could be rectified with some EQ. It also sounded like Legend volume was cranked up so it contibuted to the difference.

Have you done a review/musical assessment of Nantucket Sleigh ride?

[@spekterum]

Both have great sounds. Both were made for certain music and certain era. Musical instruments are infinite.

Hi

[@louiscornale5667]

Great job Nick but how about wooly bully watch it now 😮

[@johnodell9536]

Rhodes wins so far

[@RGGifford]

The Legend is more than fine enough for stage but digital just can’t replicate the nuances that the real electro mechanical pianos have. There just isn’t anything like the real thing.

[@dietmarschlichtherle7061]

Rhodes is the winner 🙂

No se parece en nada, yo vendi este año mi mark 2 y me arrepiento, es el que mejor suena para. el legend no suena bonito
