Came into stock:<\/b>\u00a0December 2022.<\/p>\n
Servicing Status:<\/b> Full service by KSR was already carried out in December 2022, so this Yamaha CS-60 is ready for sale now.<\/p>\n
Remarks: <\/b>We are delighted to offer this superb condition example Yamaha CS-60, which is supplied with its original lid, legs and expression & sustain pedals.<\/p>\n
The CS-60 is an 8 x VCO – 8 note true polyphonic synth with essentially the same panel layout and identical sound engine as the flagship CS-80, including aftertouch (mono). Also, this model offers user-programmable sounds\/storage, which might not sound much of a big deal in 2023, but in 1978 that was a key selling point and something the cheaper CS-50 didn’t offer.<\/p>\n
As mentioned above, this CS-60 (serial #1237) was fully serviced by master CS Series technician; Kent Spong at KSR in December 2022, so it is 100% fully operational. The cosmetic condition of the front panel is excellent, and Tolex covering in very good shape overall with some light wear but no damage\/tears, and the metal catches and hinges are all present, although the chrome does show patina. This CS-60 is complete as it comes with its original lid, legs, expression and sustain pedals and bag.<\/p>\n
This example is factory stock in terms of specification, so no modifications have been implemented. Kenton is still producing a MIDI retrofit kit for this model. \u00a0If you would like to have MIDI fitted, please speak to us about your requirements when you enquire, and we will provide the costs for the supply of the kit and installation by Kent at KSR.<\/p>\n
Quite remarkably, our client purchased this CS-60 new from the London Synth Centre in 1978, and it\u2019s only ever been used at home.\u00a0 <\/span>This exceptional provenance can be documented as a signed letter should the buyer of this synth wish to have that as proof.\u00a0 <\/span>This does add intrinsic value as a single-owner machine is such a rare occurrence for a 45 year old instrument.<\/p>\n This CS-60 is sold through RL Music with a 3-month warranty. It operates on EU220~UK240V and is fitted with a UK type 3-pin plug.
