Rhodes pianos tend to rust and corrode when stored in humid conditions. We recommend storing your Rhodes in a humidity-controlled environment. A relative humidity between 35 and 45 percent is ideal.
It’s recommended to store your Rhodes piano in its playing position, not upside down or on its side.
Service is provided in our workshop, by appointment. Each service appointment includes a free 30-minute inspection, work plan and cost estimate, which we do in front of you.

I found an old Rhodes Mark II on Reverb and started installing some new parts until I felt out of my depth. Then I took it to Nir who went through everything it needed with me. We agreed on the scope of work and the price and less than a week later I returned to retrieve my AMAZING sounding 45 year old piano. We spent well over an hour testing the piano with pedals I was invited to bring. I was also taught how to make basic adjustments on my own. This was a fantastic experience from beginning to end and I cannot recommend Nir more highly. He truly cares about his work and I actually feel spoiled.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was gifted a Rhodes that had been in a damp garage for over a decade and was not operational. Nir brought it back to the living both functionally and cosmetically. Quick professional, and a nice person as well. Cheers!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've brought in my Rhodes twice to Nir. I appreciate the time he spends explaining what needs to be done to get the piano in pristine condition. He gives me options on his recommendations and what's necessary. Nir's attention to detail is second to none. His communication even after you leave is exceptional. He works with you to make the experience stress free. Every time I leave his workshop, I feel more knowledgeable about the instrument like I sat in a class session with a master teacher! He is definitely one of a kind!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nir is very knowledgeable, thorough and friendly. His work is superb and I'm happy that I found hime here. Looking forward to bring my 73 back for an upgrade soon!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend Fender Rhodes LA enough. Nir made it easy to work with my busy schedule and completely transform the playing experience of my Rhodes Mark I Stage 73. You will not be disappointed.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My Fender Rhodes 73 Suitcase was in rough shape. It had multiple issues including mold and a cracked case. It had been through several owners when I got it and was in need of repair. Nir Benjaminy did an incredible job restoring it to pristine condition. The sound, action and appearance are like new. He explained in detail what he was doing along with pictures during the repair process. He stuck with the quoted price even though he found more issues once it was taken apart. I’m so thrilled with how it came out including restoring the amp and speakers to that original vibrato/tremolo it’s noted for. Nir also restored a Rhodes bass to its original condition and sound. I highly recommend him for any Fender Rhodes restorations. Very professional and excellent work. Thanks Nir!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brought in my 79 Rhodes to get Nir’s preamp. He spent almost 2 hours with me, teaching me about tips for maintenance and tuning, tricks of the trade, and just freely sharing his wealth of knowledge and passion for Rhodes keyboards. We tried tremolo kits from a few other companies that he had there to compare, and his system completely eclipsed it in tone, performance, and quality. Will definitely be coming back for future service and tips.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fender Rhodes LA (Nir Benjamini) did an amazing job on my 1980 Mark II. His knowledge of the instrument is deep and his experience in how to service the Rhodes is second to none. His attention to detail and his communication about servicing options are much appreciated. I will not hesitate to bring my Rhodes back to Nir when she needs service again. I highly recommend Fender Rhodes LA. jeff markhamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A master in the art of *Rhodes*. Nir of Fender Rhodes LA has a next level knowledge of the craft of Rhodes. Based on our conversations and the final results, I'm certain his technical prowess greatly exceeds that of the original technicians that made these legendary pianos, decades prior! Sparing the nitty gritty details, my 1970's Rhodes sounded amazing when I brought it in, and better in ways that I couldn't have imagined by the time I took it home. The playing is smoother, I have more variance in velocity (the 'Miracle Mod'), and the "LA Custom Preamp" was the icing on the cake to boost/customize the sound (+ the awesome bonus tremolo function). Not only did he finesse my Rhodes piano, but he left me with the knowledge to fine tune the piano on my own-- (in the event of minor bumps in the *rhode* (ie: loudness of a note/ tone/ tuning/ attack or sustain issues) All and all, if your Rhodes has an issue, or if you're looking to make sure your Rhodes is in tip top shape, this is the place to go. Sincerely, a big Rhodes piano fan (and happy customer)
