We are Brokering this instrument for and on behalf of our UK customer<\/p>\n

Servicing Status:<\/b> Full service by KSR will be carried out post-sale,<\/p>\n

Remarks:<\/b> A very rare opportunity to own what has to be one of the most impressive looking synths of its era (1980), the mighty Prophet 10 and this example comes with a MIDI retrofit.<\/p>\n

We could never have imagined that we would have to say this, but this Prophet 10 is the vintage original model (there\u2019s a clue in the pictures), so not the 2020 Dave Smith re-issue Prophet 5 with extra voicing.<\/p>\n

Who wouldn\u2019t have had their mind completely blown away when this came to the market in 1980, a twin keyboard mega-polysynth\u2026just wow!\u00a0 <\/span>And, to add the cherry on top, it was a Prophet 5 (CEM based version) with 10 voices, and stackable.\u00a0 <\/span>So yes, it\u2019s huge in every respect; footprint and that fabled Prophet sound.<\/p>\n

One of our dear customers, a well-known vintage synth user and very successful musician, MrFirechild<\/b><\/a>, produced a brilliant demo of (just) the Prophet 10, in 2015.\u00a0 <\/span>You can see\/hear the 3:34 music video on his YouTube Channel, or you can just click the link below:<\/p>\n

The current owner, our client, has only owned this for a short time, having purchased it in the UK from a specialist vintage keys dealer in 2019 (not us) – it was sold to our client as a\u00a0 <\/span>fully serviced unit. KSR has fully health-checked the Prophet 10 for us and it all checks out fine (it was serviced properly), although the original micro-cassette that would have been used to store and recall the poly-sequences on those tiny magnetic tape cartridges, no longer works (very common).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cosmetic Appraisal:<\/b><\/p>\n

Overall, this Prophet 10 is in very good condition but does show some normal signs of use and its age.\u00a0 <\/span>We have taken some septic pictures that highlight the most obvious blemishes, but we think it\u2019s a nice example that would make anyone a very proud owner.<\/p>\n

This Prophet 10 operates on 240V or US 110V (switchable). It\u2019s sold with a 3-month warranty. We will include an IEC power cable and a copy of the user manual (PDF only).<\/p>\n

Packing & Shipping: <\/b>We can ship this worldwide, although the packing & shipping cost is not included in the sale price below, and is subject to quotation.\u00a0 <\/span>We are happy to discuss your requirements so please email us if you have any questions on the logistics.<\/p>\n
