        "In a Jazz ensemble nothing beats the classic, recognizable sound of a Rhodes electric piano. Used by some of the Jazz masters, the Rhodes produces a sound that can best be described as the perfect blend of acoustic and electric, which also best describes the piano itself. Ask any Jazz pianist, the sound of a Rhodes can be imitated, but never duplicated."
