We are Brokering this instrument for and on behalf of our UK client.
Service Status:
A full service was carried out by Kent Spong at KSR Services in October 2023.
Remarks:
Roland started producing some really unique synthesizers in the mid 1970s, and they were built to a very high standard and certainly have lasted. The SH-3A was conceived as a portable full function analogue synth that had bags of charter and shared much of the same architecture & functionality from the SH-5, SH-7 and even the System 100 etc, so we think this represents excellent value for money.
Background:
Our client purchased this Roland SH-3A new in 1975, so it’s a single owner machine that’s been in their possession for just shy of 50 years, and only ever been used in a home environment.
Servicing:
As mentioned above, Kent at KSR has just going the SH-3A a full service, so it’s perfectly working and sounding like a SH-3A should, and he commented that the synth is in beautiful condition inside and out.
Condition:
We rate this as in excellent all original condition, unmodified and complete with its music stand, lid and original owner manual, so very much a collectors grade instrument, that’s ready to play.
Documents:
Although we don’t have the original sale receipt from 1975, the synth does come with its original user manual.
Packing & Shipping:
We can ship this SH-3A worldwide, although the packing, shipping & insurance costs are not included in the sale price below, so are subject to quotation. There may be some short delays in getting the packaging materials produced for shipping as they are custom ordered for the specific dimensions of each instrument.
