Vintage Vibe TINE PIANO 73, Owner'S Manual, Page: 4 / 8

afterMarket Stand
Any Platform, Z or X-Stand is suitable to support a Vintage Vibe Piano. When selecting a stand, care should
be taken to ensure that it provides solid footing and does not interfere with access to the jack plate nor
proper function of the sustain pedal.
legS
The optional chrome-plated steel legs provide a classic appearance and solidly support the piano at the ap-
proximate height of a conventional acoustic piano. To install, carefully lay the piano on its back and screw
the legs clockwise into the leg flanges.
For pianos purchased without legs, an upgrade kit is available that includes legs, flanges, screws and instal-
lation instructions.
SuStaIn pedal
The optional sustain pedal is manufactured of lightweight plastic and aluminum. It features four easily
adjustable feet that allow for solid placement on most any surface. The included sustain rod connects the
pedal to the piano’s internal sustain rail and its telescopic construction provides flexibility of placement and
piano height.
To set up the sustain pedal, place it under the piano and insert the open end of the larger diameter rod over
the sustain pedal’s pin. Loosen the wing nut and extend the telescopic rod through the hole located on the
bottom of the piano at the rear. The end of the rod should make contact with the sustain plunger and ensure
the plunger contacts the sustain rail.
note : When inserting the telescopic rod into the base of the piano, take care to achieve a light contact.
over-extending the rod into the insert hole will result in un-damped or partially damped notes upon release
of the sustain pedal.
VIntage VIbe paSSIVe pIano controlS
Passive models include Volume, Bass and Treble controls and a 1/4” output jack for interface with the am-
plifier of your choosing.
VIntage VIbe actIVe Model poWer reQuIreMentS
The Active Stereo model requires 110 - 240 volts AC. The piano should only be plugged into a grounded
power outlet of the required voltage and only done so with a grounded power cord. The power switch is lo-
cated on the underside of the piano to the rear of the jack plate.

note:
The preamp is active and therefore the controls will only function when the piano is plugged into an
appropriate AC power source and the power switch on the underside of the base is engaged.

Identical to the tonality of the classic Fender Rhodes Peterson preamp
known and revered by players the world over.
Introduces a FET input stage which is characteristically tube-like due to
its high impedance.
note : Settings all the switches in the UP position will engage the FET input stage in parallel with Classic
Mode. Some players may find this combination to be desirable. Experiment and see what setting you find
to be the most appealing.
