"Here is what is wrong: 1) There is a high-pitched noise on output (softer than the string sound); 2) the low F# & F#2 make a fuzzy "raspberry" sound on all presets, as does the low F on the Cello patch, and the low F# on String patch; 3) The Cello select switch is a bit hard to set but can be done; 4) no lid; 5) some keys are scratched, 6) the power on LED works but takes a while to light up.

But it sounds like an Arp OMNI on steroids when you hit the ENSEMBLE button. This is one extremely rare bird, they didn't make but a few. Hohner actually made another, different synth, also with a K4 nameplate (go figure)."
