The second one is NOT a Yamaha SHS-10. I am an owner of one. Despite the look alikes it appears to be something else like it. Yamaha that I know of didn't make that keytar in the picture. I was going to assume it was a Asian knock off toy but I noticed two wheels. Most toys don't even have a pitch bend. Well, just like the SHS-10 I am sure it still sounds like shit.
It's not a Castlebar Clavinet. George Duke's Castlebar Clavinet is a modified Hohner E7 Clavinet in a plexiglass cover. This keyboard is called "Davis Clavitar" and it was made by Wayne Yentis back in 1978. Herbie Hancock, Steve Porcaro and George Duke owned these. It's a controller for the MiniMoog, the ARP Odyssey and the Sequential Circuits Prophet-5.
The Red is not a yamaha shs10, it's a "MEGA SOUND", it's a keytar-toy. Same design with the french modele RJP " Orgue - guitare programmable". But this one is modified/customized.
I have a Wayne Yentis made 1970s clavitar. number 8 of 8. I have to sell it to pay bills. does anyone know what I should ask for it. it is in Beautiful shape. I know that our home town band, NANTUCKET used it. thanks. I can be reached at crazyjerrys@hotmail.com
