ELKA RHAPSODY 490 VINTAGE STRING SYNTHESIZER

via this auction

"This a collectors gem from 1975. All it does is the classic 70s string sounds AND its polyphonic! If you remember the ARP string Ensemble this sounds very very close to that sound. Used on 1,000 of albums back in the day including Tangerine Dream... Comes with Elka hard case... There are only two setting buttons Cello/Violas and Strings. The Cello works fine however the strings DO work but the output is low."

    Even the case is the same as the one of my Hohner Stringvox. I think the only difference is the beige enclosure of the Hohner.
