About

Founded in 2002 by Richard Lawson, RL Music is one of Europe’s most respected names in the world of vintage and classic synthesizers.

With over five decades as a musician, collector, and lifelong enthusiast, Richard’s passion for electronic instruments shapes every aspect of the business — from curation and restoration to expert advisory and legacy services for collectors worldwide.

“It’s always been about passion — the love of music and the instruments that make it. I’ve spent my life immersed in the sound and character of synthesizers, and that same fascination continues to drive RL Music today.”

Built on integrity, quality, and personal service, RL Music exists to connect people with truly exceptional instruments. Working closely with specialist partners, including KSR – London, the business upholds the highest standards of craftsmanship and care across every restoration, sale, and consultation.

Many of our clients have been with us since the very beginning. They trust RL Music not only as a source for rare and valuable synthesizers, but as a partner — one that understands the importance of authenticity, history, and preservation in every piece.

RL Music continues to evolve, offering bespoke advisory services for collectors, enthusiasts, and estate planning — helping ensure these remarkable instruments and their stories endure for generations to come.
