Materials matter!
Our tips are manufactured from premium extruded neoprene for its known durability, sound and feel. Neoprene doesn't break down, harden or alter the pianos percussive attack! A major focus on producing our own hammertip kits was getting the wood-core tips right! The Rhodes upper register requires wood-tips to get that sonic punch and also resonate the shortest tines sufficiently.
We manufacture our “Mint Chocolate wood-core hammer-tips” from old growth rock maple. Every process from the raw material stage to finished product happens under our roof. These dimensionally match the original MK.I Rhodes tips perfectly and are made from an incredibly durable wood.
