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.
Customer Reviews
I successfully installed the replacement parts received. The Rhodes Stage Piano 73 was given to me by a friend. He said he wanted to give it to someone that would give it some love. I did not realize that he actually meant, "would restore it"! I am loving this opportunity to restore it. I always wanted a "real" Rhodes. Your tutorial videos, though years old in some instances, have been very helpful. Delivery was fast!
The time and effort that Vintage Vibe have put into researching and producing these spares should not be underestimated. Great quality; perfect fit every time. - All their spares are essential for keeping these wonderful pianos playing well, and looking great. Thank you VV.
5 stars.Perfect match. Great product and fast shipping
Everything I ordered fit perfectly and made my 1980 Mark II Stage piano look and sound great!
Perfect fit on my Rhodes and makes it look brand new! What more can I say? After 50 years of Hawaiian humidity and corrosion, the chrome was long gone on my external hardware.
