"The nicest Trident I've seen since there were new machines in the shops - and even nicer in one respect: this one has a beautiful new oak case, custom-made by Jeff Toman's CustomSynth company. The panel, hardware and keyboard are all beautiful enough to justify the 300GBP or whatever the case cost - this is a superb-looking machine. The photo shows a few missing screws, which have now been replaced. The other reason why it was worth buying a new case was that the Trident II is simply one of the best synths ever made! Despite having no velocity-sensitivity or aftertouch, and no MIDI, it has everything you need as a stage or studio instrument. Wonderfully expressive strings, lovely Polysix-like synth thanks to the SSM chips, great brass with the PS-3100-like ability to have it sound only when a predetermined number of keys are depressed, and a superb flanger. Plus great connectivity - see the pic of the back panel. Freshly serviced by Lucid Sound, this will get to you in as superb working order as it is cosmetic order. With a copy service manual. Totally recommended! (VEMIA note: would I rather have this or a PS-3100 or even 3200? This!)"
