Roland SH-1000 Vintage Synthesizer With Hard Case


via this auction

"The SH-1000 was the first instrument made by Roland, so therefore it is also their first keyboard! It is a monophonic analog synth with a single oscillator feeding a low-pass filter, an A.D.S.R. envelope, and two LFOs. It has 10 preset sounds. While this is a fully functioning keyboard, as you can see from the photos it shows some use. It has 2 plastic control knobs (Pitch and Rate) that are cracked, but each one still rotates completely. Also, the "Noise" and "Tremolo" keys have some side by side action. The wood body shows some wear as well. However, it is fully functional. Every key works and produces a sound, all ten preset sound tabs work. Every knob on the control panel works as intended. "Glide" does not seem to do very much though. All in all, it is a super cool vintage Roland that is easy to play and easy to manipulate sounds on. This Roland weighs 41 pounds and comes in the original hard case..."
