"It has been serviced and PAT-tested by James Walker at Synth Repair Services and is in perfect working order
It's in great condition for a synth that's approaching its 40th birthday with minor blemishes and crazing to the paintwork and vinyl finish and a few chips and scuffs to the 'wooden' end cheeks.
There are no major marks/scratches on the keys, all the selector switches are clean and undamaged, the end cheeks bear some chipping/scuffing on their edges, all switches and sliders move freely and noiselessly. Apart from the end cheeks and a few minor scratches, it's in very good condition: it just demands to be used to make funk, disco, prog rock, or whatever cosmic delights you should desire.
This was Roland's second synth (introduced in 1973 following the SH1000) and was the first to feature aftertouch, which makes it a very expressive instrument indeed. From fat and funky wobbly basslines to squelchy soaring leads, this synth delivers (as well as a multitude of 'authentic' recreations of acoustic instruments) - a personal favourite preset is the 'popcorn' (from the disco classic of the same name?)..."
