The Cure's Solina String Ensemble Up for Auction?

via this auction
"Used all the way through "Bloodflowers", and Painted Black (of course).

Purchased from THE MUSIC GROUND in Leeds, England (known for dealing in Vintage Celebrity Instruments) a couple of years back.

This is the not the ARP model, but rather the one manufactured by B.V. Eminent of Bodegraven, Holland (Series 30, No. 0096091.

The plug has been changed out for me at The Music Ground, Leeds for a 110 to work here in the states.

This also has been Retrofitted by The Cure's techs with a MIDI Upgrade.

Buttons: (Left to Right) Contrabass, Cello, Viola, Violin, Trumpet, Horn

Sliders: (Left to Right) Volume Bass, Crescendo, Sustain Length, Volume

The first black and white keys are cracked and the unit shows some light / moderate roadwear as well.

Besides hearing it on Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Disintegration, Bloodflowers, etc..."

There's mention of the Solina in this post from 2006: Synths on The Cure's Disintigration
