Rhodes Teases 80th Anniversary Edition Piano with MK8/80AE Giveaway

Leeds, United Kingdom, April 30, 2026 — This year, Rhodes Music celebrates its 80th anniversary. To mark the occasion, the company is launching a global giveaway offering the chance to win one of the first MK8/80AE pianos, a limited-edition instrument restricted to 80 units ahead of its full reveal later this summer.

Entries are now open via the Rhodes website. Participants can enter by submitting their details through the giveaway page, with additional entries available through social sharing.

The MK8/80AE follows the 75AE, which sold out shortly after its release and remains highly sought after. With its 80th anniversary, Rhodes is setting the stage for a particularly special release.

Further details on the MK8/80AE will be shared in the coming months.
