There have not been any modifications made to this Synthi so it\u2019s factory spec.  Being an early model, the sound of this Synths sublime, and a real connoisseurs\/collectors machine that we would grade as 9.5 out of 10.<\/p>\n<p>Since 1973, this Synthi A was used in numerous avant-garde music projects by the owner, who was an experimentalist musician, that published an album in the early 70s using this Synthi A (amongst other items). Since the death of the owner, this Synthi A has been kept in storage, unused, since the early 1980s.  This is a bit of a \u2018barn find\u2019 for the family, so they had commissioned Kent at KSR to undertake a full restoration of this Synthi, which was completed 7 days ago, so the EMS is now in perfect operations condition. <\/p>\n<p>Cosmetically, this is in excellent all original condition throughout, with hardly any noticeable wear to the control panel. The Spartanite case is undamaged and looks almost like new, and the nickel catches\/hinges are in very good condition.  This Synthi A also comes with a full complement of Matrix pins and the proprietary power-cable.  <\/p>\n<p>These iconic and truly amazing pure analogue music instruments are in great demand by professional users, and prices are being driven up fast on the second-hand market around the world, so now might be a good time to invest in one before they become \u2018Vintage Buchla or RA Moog Modular\u2019 prices.  The price of this Synthi A has been agreed with the owner to stimulate a faster sale, so it\u2019s available at a fantastic price and by far the best value in the world today, for a vintage EMS synthesizer.<\/p>\n<p>We can\u2019t think of a more iconic, truly portable synthesizer ever being made, and even today the design of the Synthi is considered a triumph of feature and form&#8230;incredible.<\/p>\n<p>This Synthi only operates on EU 220V~240V with UK 3-pin plug fitted, and as mentioned above, comes with a full set of matrix pins, and the original proprietary power-cable. We will all supply a copy EMS Synthi User Manual (PDF) with the sale.<\/p>\n<p>As the instrument is being Brokered through RL Music, it will be sold with a full 3-month warranty, and we can ship worldwide.  <\/p>\n<p>Demos are available by appointment only.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sales Price:<\/strong> \u00a39,800.
