Handmade instruments and recording studio furniture, by Chris Elsasser, aka 'Munstre'
I built a piano with this rarely used design method.... (building the LEGS)
A follow up build video to my previous DIY 'Rhodes' video, this build details the design and build process behind the leg frame for that piano, with lots of little woodwork tips as I take my design from a modest 3d printed miniature model, through a fine furniture build of a Walnut leg base frame from a very special slab of wood....

Destroying a well known synth to make a Rhodes (a ridiculous build)
มุมมอง 269K8 หลายเดือนก่อน
Building a custom Rhodes inspired piano for my home studio from a Yamaha Reface CP, merging the electronics from the synth with a mid-century inspired furniture build using Peruvian Walnut, Valchromat, MDF, and American Walnut in the build. While this is a pretty involved build in the woodshop, the basic premise and teardown process is repeatable and allows for endless options of a new custom p...
Woodworking is humiliating...

I love the Reface Rhodes, and also used to work in carpentry. Your skills are amazing and this build is so fun to watch. Thanks for taking us on this ridiculous voyage 😁😁😁I know where I'm going for studio furniture!
Thanks so much for the kind words!
It does look beautiful... but as someone that has built enclosures for modern hardware myself... eventually you end up tearing it down as it's just too heavy/bulky to have around. Next up : Turning a USB flash drive into a Winchester disk.
Amazing and beautiful work!!! 🥰
Let me go out on a limb and say that most of the angry commenters would not be able to distinguish between the reface and real thing in a blind listening test. People can't tell synth plugins or processor plugins these days so there's no way anyone is able to tell it's not a real rhodes.
beautiful ! but the power switch ....
The Reface CP is my all time favorite digital keyboard and I use it extensively in gigs because of its portability and sound. I truly admire what you have done here; Yamaha Music Corp needs to see this.
Teak is an amazing wood. It is so durable and stable, and I think it looks beautiful when oiled. It is a shame it is so expensive, but that's what you get when the trees are almost extinct. I genuinely hope that sustainble forestry can guarantee that we can enjoy this amzing wood in the future too. (I think of all those WW2 warships that had solid 6" teak decks, because of course they had... And then halfway through the war they tore up the decks to lighten the ships. What a waste!) The teak deck of my boat requires almost no maintenance work besides scrubbing it with water and soap once in a while. I have sanded it down a couple of years ago but there is still plenty of wood left if I need to do it again in ten years. Teak becomes a very light gray when left to be exposed to sunlight. This becomes a great silvery nuance that doesn't absorb heat but isn't so reflective that it blinds you when sailing. It turns a darker gray when wet, but that only helps it absorb more light so it dries up quicly once the sun comes out. Teak decks are naturally non-slip and very resistant to wear and tear. A varnished or canvased deck is always goung to be susebtible to puncturing the water-tight surface, but teak just doesn't soak up water, so you can leave it un-treated. I have also restored a bunch of teak furniture from the 1950's and 60's. In most cases all that was required was a careful cleaning with a mild soap and a few coats of satin furniture polish. Legs are usually made of solid wood, so I can sand them down and reapply a new coat of oil and laquer. Legs often have more wear on them due to ferocious vacuum cleaning. Table tops sometimes has stains from hot tea cups or flowerpots so they may require a new layer of veneer. I alway appreciate when furniture builders make table tops (and legs) detachable, so that you can remove the top nd send it through a sander and press new veneer on the surface. This way we can give 60 year old furniture a new life. Furniture that can't easily be disassembled are usually doomed to be scrapped after the surfce finish has worn down.
Beautiful work and design. That piano looks like a joy to play. The Yamaha seems to be a good enough piece of gear in it's own right but you have elevated it to an instrument that can be loved nd treasured for the rest of your life. (Or as long as the Yamaha electronics lasts, but in case they should break, you could always get another one to put in there.)
This is a very nice project. Well done! For esier and better soldering, you should get some flux paste. One little jar of paste costs a few bucks and will last you for years. It might not be strictly necessary, because the solder you buy has some flux already in it, but the difference is pretty dramatic. Dip your wires and components in the flux paste and they will soak up the solder like a sponge. You won't have any problem with the solder forming a bead that doesn't want to stick to anything.
unbelivable!👏👏👏
what tune he played in minute 2:08 please help
Does anyone have any links to repair manual schematics or know what type of ribbon cables connect each of the boards on the CP?
I believe this has to be one of the very best videos ever uploaded to this platform!
$1594 raw cost +$5000 labour + $150K for the basics of that shop … cheap!
That workshop is insane! Hopefully, you’ll never need to change out a speaker! 😂
I only allow myself to use the word "stunning" once a year, and there it is.
Thank you so much for such a kind compliment!
@@Munstre I have a Reface CP and am considering playing it by midi from a 61 note keyboard. Tempted by the Yamaha ck61.
Love it
That's great work
Please don't get me wrong, but next time use a tube amp
You did something simply incredible, if you are going to make a version for a hammond please don't use the yamaha yc, consider using the hardware and keys from the "hammond m-solo" model, it already has everything in it you just need to put a little of your talent
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
really cool video!
Did I miss it or did you cover how you powered everything?
Dang dude... that's way more pro than my little synth build I did around a behringer. (it's the only thing on my page if you're interested)
Balanced outputs were the icing on the cake! Amazing job!
The look in the beginning had me rolling 😂😂😂😂
I didn't know you had a TH-cam channel! I have one of your products at my home stuido. A true craftsman and excellent video. Reminds me of Love Hulten with the much needed explanations! Lol thanks!
Thanks so much! Very cool to hear from a customer in the comments. I appreciate it!
This was the first video I found while searching ideas on constructing almost exactly what you constructed. Amazing work! I would love to build this minus the speakers. Thoroughly enjoying the reface and would love to glorify it.
Good wood work. But the title is the misinformation. Its only appeaeance and the rhodes is more about the sound and electronics snd mechanics Please change the title a bit.
What casters are those, they look great
Also please make plans available
First of all I want a full length 4+ minute version of that intro tune please
Thank you for the honest statement at the almost 3 minute mark. I was looking for a video for utilising another keyboard make a Rhodes. This ain’t it.
This was amazing. Beautiful work. Now to buy a desk from you brb
I can’t imagine doing all of this work but using keys from such a cheap keyboard that don’t really feel that great
Really cool project. Only wished you had taken the plunge and built a real electro-mechanical piano into it.
do you have a follow up for a pedal box that would incorporate sustain/damper, volume. and voltage control (for wah clavinet)?
The veneer was a nice touch 👍🏽
The weighting of the keys is excellent.. I own such a M•Audio 88 keybed to play the reface Yamaha and but the weighting is not where I like it to play - excellent work here ❤
Would buy
THIS is wonderful. I love it!
Was totally expecting an ad read for Better Help during the glue up. I was pleasantly surprised that you didn’t take advantage of your own character growth to sell a product. I love all of your videos and as a musician-woodworker I am 100% interested in seeing a video on your process for creating miniature prototypes.
Haha thanks a lot, I literally almost put a text overlay there saying “THIS DOES NOT LEAD TO A BETTER-HELP AD” because I was worried it had that vibe too. I appreciate the feedback and your compliments, thanks so much for taking the time to check these videos out…
this looks beautifull, makes the original rhodes-legs look rather industrial. very well done thank you for sharing!
Thanks so much for checking out the project, and for your feedback here!
I watched your previous video on the construction of your piano, but I've subbed after watching you move that little beetle to the side rather than kill it.🥰🥰
Nice build, but what I don’t really understand is why, with all this meticulous effort and attention to detail, you did not choose a better quality keybed. I think the instrument looks very cool, but I suspect the feel when playing it would be really disappointing to me. I would have searched for a premium wooden hammer action keybed from a defective or second hand instrument. Maybe a little more expensive, but that would be totally justified when looking at the cost of the entire build.
Yamaha Deface
New favourite channel! Loving these videos. I'm super glad top find someone combining fine woodworking and studio furniture, thanks documenting your journey. Inspired to do a similar build with my reface CP, will let you know if I get round to it ✌
Thanks so much for the feedback, would love to see any pics if you end up taking on that project!
Beautiful
Very interesting and impressive quality. Also interesting for me that you can combine danish oil with laquer... never thought that this is possible.
Nice! I am thinking of building me an eurorack cabinet. Any comments about using good quality plywood vs using solid wood on music related builds? Thanks again for sharing.
Hey! Thanks for checking out the video. For a Eurorack cabinet the biggest consideration with solid wood is really just wood movement, the solid woods will need to expand and contract seasonally a little bit (plywoods are basically a static size due to the alternating orientation of the woodgrains)... but I wouldn't think you should have too much issue since the rails would be attached near the front of the cabinet, which allows the remaining wood to expand/contract as needed. Euroracks tend to be fairly shallow so you shouldn't have to worry much about movement. Plywood will be less work overall, but will leave you with the exposed ply - which on a good quality furniture grade ply still looks pretty nice I think.
@Munstre thanks for the advice 😀
