RHODES MARSHMALLOW
'MARSHMALLOW'
The Rhodes MK8 ‘Marshmallow’, the sixth Custom Shop release, explores a softer side of design – a study in pastel hues, retro tonal language, and a singular focus on colour. Inspired by the pillowy forms and lighthearted spirit of classic marshmallows, the instrument embraces a playful reference point, interpreted through the refined craftsmanship of the Rhodes Custom Shop.
Hand-built in Leeds, UK, by Rhodes Master Builders, the MK8 ‘Marshmallow’ delivers the expressive depth, warmth and dynamic nuance that define the MK8’s sonic identity. Beneath its pastel exterior lies the same finely engineered instrument trusted by players and collectors worldwide – rich in character, endlessly expressive, and sounding every bit as sweet as it looks.
Produced in extremely limited numbers, defined by the number of orders placed during the drop, and never to be repeated, the Rhodes MK8 ‘Marshmallow’ captures a rare moment of levity within the Custom Shop series. Soft in colour yet striking in presence, this piano is designed to stand apart and to inspire.
