godwin 849 string symphony


via this auction

"bought this brand new in 1982 from Dougies music shop in northwich, cheshire.. a few months before roland realeased the juno 6.... oh well!, there is not much info about this on the internet or anywhere, but i can tell you it is fully working , all buttons, lights, sliders, everything is fine... the only downside is the front panel is starting to rust slightly, and the handle on the flightcase has broken off. by the way this thing sounds fantastic, especially the chorus/tremelo unit, this synth is built like a tank, and weighs like one too!.. this synth is the much posher version of the godwin string concert.. is it rare let me know. this auction is deffo pick up only sorry"
