NAMM 2025: Rhodes Music to Showcase MIDI MK8 Piano, Custom Shop Line & Unveil New 61-Key Stage Piano

At the 2025 NAMM Show, held at the Anaheim Convention Center in California from January 23 to January 25, Rhodes Music plans to showcase their MK8 Piano, launch a new Custom Shop Line, and introduce a new 61-Key Stage Piano.

Since its revival as a UK-based company in 2021, Rhodes Music has reintroduced the legendary electro-mechanical piano, based on inventor Harold Rhodes’ original vision. Built on his iconic asymmetrical tuning fork design, the MK8 combines the traditional craftsmanship of the original with modern innovations, like built-in analog effects.

This year’s NAMM Show will see Rhodes showcasing three main lines:

  • This year, the MK8 takes a major leap forward with new integrated MIDI capabilities. Featuring proprietary sensing technology, the system adds high-resolution monitoring of key position and both Channel and Polyphonic Aftertouch. Attendees will have the opportunity to experience this new functionality firsthand.
  • Rhodes will give attendees a first look at its upcoming 61-key Rhodes stage piano, a more compact, portable design.
  • The company will also make the NAMM debut of their new Rhodes Custom Shop, which offers complete aesthetic customization options for the MK8 piano.

In addition to these lines, the Rhodes booth will feature a dedicated technology station, where attendees can explore the full suite of Rhodes virtual instruments and effects firsthand. This will include the V8 Series and Anthology Collection, along with Rhodes Chroma by Cherry Audio, V-Rack, and V-Pan.
