Maestro Rhythm King MRK-2

Serviced and working well. Love the sound of these Maestros.

Virtually identical to the MRK-1 machine used by Sly and the Family Stone on “There’s A Riot Going On” and many more artists besides (Beck loves his). The MRK-2 has the added “Balance” control (basically a tone control that increases/decreases the cymbal sounds), plus the “Paso Doble” rhythm is replaced by “Swing 2”. Here’s a handy picture of a 1 and 2 side by side on our Instagram feed.

Serviced and working well. Footswitch had been replaced with a homemade version – it’s basic but it works and fits in the storage slot at the back so we left it as is.

In very good condition with scuffs to the face but overall very clean.

We have original covers available for these – please let us know if you want one.
