Thirty years ago this summer, I bought a Fender Rhodes 88 electric piano from another student at my high school who recently graduated. I held onto the Rhodes until 1990, when, tired of lugging it around and now obsolete, I donated it to the University of Maryland Jazz Department where I was playing. Ten years after that, the music department was moving to new digs and they offered me the Rhodes back. I took them up on the offer. A couple years after my daughter was born, I sold it again to a fellow musician. Recently, he was getting ready to sell it, so I offered to buy it back from him. I took delivery of it today, which now makes me the 3rd, 5th and 7th owner of the electric piano.

The Rhodes is now 35 years old and is still remarkably pristine. It needs a couple of minor mechanical fixes and some cosmetic work. In an era of very high tech keyboards (which I also own), there's something to be said about being able to work on a musical instrument using nothing but a screwdriver and socket wrench.
