via this VEMIA auction" This is what the owner says, and I can't really argue with it:- 'Probably the best synth in the world? Well it would be hard to disagree. A rare opportunity to acquire one of the most enigmatic and sonically impressive electronic instruments of all time, the state of the art Yamaha CS80. This particular CS80 plays beautifully; it has the VCO stability upgrade and all the CMOS chips have been replaced and resocketed. The sounds this machine can produce simply cannot be matched by anything else in the synthesizer domain; it is that powerful and unique. A player’s dream machine, no other synth gives you so much feedback and can reward you as much as this one. Condition is excellent, there has been an extra slider fitted on the far right of the control panel but it is not wired up to anything, and could easily be removed and filled if desired. The synth has recently been recalibrated and can be shipped world wide. Power can be switched between 110v and 240v Comes with the original stand and a copy of the user manual.' We collected it, so that it could be at VEMIA for checking and then expert shipping. The first time we powered it up, it took a long long time to settle down into tune - maybe near an hour. These instruments really do not like being transported! But subsequently, it sounds superb only a couple of minutes after switch-on. We were planning to get Lucid Sound to come to check it in situ, but honestly there is nothing I can hear that needs calibrating or checking. It sounds wonderful and plays perfectly. Cosmetically it is very pleasing - some marks and scrapes on the outside of the case as usual, and some corrosion on the legs, but generally lovely. The lid and catches and hinges are good; the legs are really really useful - well-designed to get such a heavy instrument from the floor to upright in one swoop. If possible we will deliver at cost in the UK, northern / central France, Belgium and Netherlands - possibly further if timings worked out; otherwise you will need to pay for crating as well as shipping."
