Rhodes Custom shop
What is a Rhodes Custom Shop Piano?
One Design, One Drop. Never Repeated.
The Rhodes Custom Shop is where the most exclusive and unique Rhodes pianos come to life – built to order by artisan master builders using bespoke, custom-engineered components.
Each piano starts with a singular concept – a fusion of legacy, storytelling, and forward-thinking design. Every detail is considered, each element refined. No two releases are ever the same.
Custom Shop pianos are available to order for unique moments, and for a very limited time. A fleeting opportunity to own a truly rare instrument – never to be released again.
No stock. No repeats. Just hand-built pianos – each with unique serial numbers and Custom Shop badges – made to order by Rhodes artisan master builders in quantities defined by those who commit to the Drop.
Built for uncompromising performance and lasting presence. Delivered with a certificate of authenticity, a bespoke Rhodes softcover, and a premium Spares Kit.

'Night train'
ORDER BOOKS NOW CLOSED
The Rhodes MK8 ‘Night Train’ is a supremely limited Custom Shop piano, created to honour Oscar Peterson’s 100th birthday and pay tribute to his legendary album of the same name.
Oscar Peterson’s masterful, expressive playing made him one of the most influential pianists of all time. Although best known for acoustic piano, Peterson occasionally turned to the Rhodes to explore new textures. In his hands, it spoke with the same clarity, drive, and swing that embodied his touch on the grand. The Rhodes MK8 ‘Night Train’ celebrates his legacy – pairing the unmistakable sound of the MK8 with a design language drawn from the album that defined an era of modern jazz.
