Description
Having nice new hardware is like having Chrome pipes on your Harley Davidson. It's the shinning accents when the light hits just right that give you that wow factor. After putting new tolex on your piano our new nickel chrome hardware seals the deal in regards to appearances. Our hardware is all chrome nickel plated and comes with all necessary screws and hardware.
Hardware kits are sold separately. All necessary hardware and screws are included.
Kits include 1 pair of Latches and 1 Hinge Set. Some pianos will have 4 latches (2 on each side) but we found that 1 latch on each side will get the job done!
Early and late style hardware kits come with different hinges (early and late) and latches (early and late)
If you have a Transition piano with Early Hinges and Late Latches please include a note with your order to ensure you receive the correct latch set.

How to Install Early Style Hinges and Latches
FAQ
Is my piano a Stage or Suitcase?
Stage pianos will normally utilize 4 legs and 2 crossbars to support the piano. Suitcase pianos typically sit on top of the speaker cabinet and they have an active pre amp on the rail. Check out our reference photos for more help.
Do I need early or late style hardware?
The only thing that separates the 2 kits are the latches and hinges. Early style latches were used on pianos up until 1973, Early hinges were used until around 1975. Generally late style was post 1976.

Show. Thanks
I recently purchased a 1976 Rhodes suitcase model
I’m getting it tuned and electric work done on it here in Dallas.
The set that I ordered is going to be put on the Rhodes towards completion. I’m very excited and thankful for all the guys at Vintage vibe!!!
I’ve always wanted to own a Rhodes, now I can experience this dream with a fresh sound and look! Thank you!
this is my 5th Rhodes (I presently have 2)
I lately purchased a GREAT stage 73 Mark I , late 79 model, with a very fast and light action but with all-around metal with rusted. I purchased a metal-replacement kit from VV (and a few other parts) and restored the piano to perfection ! Now it sounds great (thanks to the new pickup and hammer tips from VV) , has a crisp and well-defined sound, fast action, everything works. From the upper-metal to the pedal, everything looks brand new !
VV is THE source for parts, repro or original, which ALWAYS WORK. Thanks guys !
Excellent parts, made my Rhodes look like new!
