The Yamaha CSY-1

Remember this post on Yamaha Electone "Synths?" The following just in via Ivan on AH:

"I had just been doing some research on the Yamaha SY-1 which I rememberd playing as a kid. Seems it was built into an organ called the CYS-1 (and later there was a CYS-2 with a built-in Yamaha SY-2). The same day I see the standard "Yamaha organ for sale" ad on the local Craigslist but the picture looked a bit different for a Yamaha organ. I always look at the organ ads and then asked questions. Sure enough this was a CYS-1. So today I paid a $100 for it and the guy delivered it for another $20. Here it is in my home (still have to find a place for it): link. Bad photo, but basically the entire top section is the SY-1. The synthesizer can be played separately or as a monophonic voice on top of the upper manual voices. And the SY-1 can be played with the bass pedals too! Lots of fun; now I'm in the mood for lounge music."

Fascinating. One more thing to look out for in those Estate sales. : ) You can find more on the SY-1 and SY-2 on VSE. No title link.
