The Rhodes MK8 ‘American Classic’ draws directly from one of the most revered machines in American history – the legendary 1965 AC Shelby Cobra – channelling the raw precision and visual impact of one of the most iconic machines ever built.
Born from transatlantic craftsmanship, both Rhodes and the Shelby Cobra were conceived through American vision and found their modern home being hand-built by artisans in the UK – a shared DNA that goes deeper than design.
The Rhodes MK8 ‘American Classic’ will be available to order only once – a fleeting opportunity to own a truly exclusive instrument, never to be released again.
With its deep Guardsman Blue sparkletop hood finish, complete with Wimbledon White racing stripes, and the reflective, hand-polished chrome front panel, the MK8 American Classic is a bold reference to a racing legend. Like the Cobra, it embodies a commitment to craftsmanship over compromise, inspiring those who appreciate the beauty and determination of passionate engineers and technicians who produce timeless, dynamic brilliance.
Under the hood, the Rhodes harnesses motion and mechanical tension to create something raw, immediate and unmistakably alive, sharing both dynamic power and a signature growl with the Shelby Cobra’s legendary V8 engine. Two finely tuned, beating hearts that transform metal into something more.
Made to order and hand-finished by Rhodes Master Builders, Rhodes Custom Shop pianos sound and respond with the exact warmth, richness, and dynamic expression Rhodes players expect.
