via this auction"This all valve keyboard has a wonderful sound. The concert reverb model is one of the rarest and was the most advanced of the clavioline models. It is alot more sophisticated than the univox or the other clavioline models. It can produce a huge variety of sounds. the reverb is really stunning.
Some of the fake crocodile cover is worn away on the corners, the cable from the keyboard to the amp is not original and there is bit of background hum but this becomes insignificant when you play it louder.
Otherwise it is in very good condition and very playable. I have used it on recordings and it has a really unusual sound, quite emotional. I think that valve based instruments do have special qualities, there aren't many out there to choose from.
It is quite versatile and can produce some modern aggressive sounds. A useful modification would be to get a signal out before the speaker so that you could record all the low end.
It would sound amazing with a valve based VCA and VCF. You could even convert it to midi using a midi to parallel converter. If you want to build the ultimate valve synthesizer you couldn't get a much better start than this." inside a clavioline
