This bright-pink Rhodes piano is inspired by marshmallows – and it’s a serious piece of eye candyRhodes Music has unveiled a very dreamy and very pink piano known as the MK8 Marshmallow.
The new piano forms part of its Custom Shop series, which offers a limited-run of unique MK8 pianos, each shaped by a distinct visual concept. Hand-built in Leeds, UK, by Rhodes Master Builders, each instrument is made to order, individually numbered, and will not be reissued once the order window closes.

Rhodes says its aesthetic is inspired by the “pillowy forms” and, er, “nostalgic tones” of “classic marshmallows” – think soft sounds that channel their sweet and foamy insides, perhaps.
All of this is of course expressed through its soft pastel pink aesthetic, including a pastel pink hood and matching hood strip, as well as a pink tolex base and cheekblocks. Additional details include a matching front panel with rose pink preamp and FX inlays, custom rose pink dial caps, and silver-on-rose-pink logo plates, and it even has a colour-matched sustain pedal and footplate.
Aside from its good looks, the MK8 Marshmallow offers a 73-note Kluge Klaviaturen keyboard (Steinway Group), onboard custom stereo analogue FX, including compressor, phaser, chorus, and delay (true bypass). Its analogue preamp also comes with parametric EQ, drive, envelope, wah, and vari-pan.

Back in March, Rhodes also expanded its lineup of virtual pianos and keyboard instruments with Pianology, a collection of three “timeless pianos”: a concert grand, acoustic upright and vintage electric grand.
The collection offers producers and composers access to instruments which are “rare and seldom encountered outside renowned studios, concert halls and private collections”. Its three software instruments were sampled by Rhodes’ engineering and sound design teams “with a focus on instant playability”.
The Marshmallow is available exclusively through the Rhodes Custom Shop from 9 April to 23 April 2026, with optional MIDI for an additional £1299. Pricing without MIDI stands at £11,995 (+VAT) / €13,995 (+ local taxes) / USD: $15,995.
