"A rare early Synthi Hifli with original stand and early series chunky nylon-dipped pedals in beautiful condition. Serial number 9064, so the sixty-fourth Hifli made out of a total production of 450. This unit has been recently refurbished by EMS and Steve Thomas. Only a small number of these virtually indestructible diecast pedals were supplied before a change was made to the cheaper Solasound pedal shells. The original three-part chromed stands are also much sought-after. The previous owner added a useful modification switch that allows the permanent envelope system to be bypassed. David Cockerell's original design prevented the Hifli from being used with a continuous non-percussive audio signal. A mains on-off switch has also been added on the front panel. Evidence of two other modifications (now removed) can be seen. A jack socket was connected in the middle of the front face, now replaced with a blanking plug. This will be painted white for delivery. Also another switch to the right of the mains on-off switch has been removed. Note that this Hifli does not include the Growl modification added to the later Hiflis, although this can still be retrofitted by EMS if desired. VEMIA will pack and deliver or ship this instrument to the winning bidder. If you want the growl modification done, that could be done by EMS before we receive the Hi-Fli - at a cost of 90GBP total."
