Not the best pics of the SY-1, but the "Guide To Your Yamaha Solo Synthesizer SY-1" is not something you see often. This might be the first time an image of it has been featured on the site. The one thing I always pay attention to is how companies marketed their products. Note the design - colors, graphics and font.  Is this how Yamaha launched their first synth?

"This very rare Yamaha SY-1 vintage analog synthesizer, is the first compact/portable analog synth produced by Yamaha in 1974."

“Comes with the original guide, Hard shell case, Control pedal, the original stand from Yamaha made for the unit,the original case for the stand,and a music stand. Beautiful... first Synth Yamaha Made Everything is in really good condition.All the switches and knobs and keys working well.The volume doesn't completely go out when you turn the volume down and there is no noise. The sound is very clean. Cosmetically the unit is in very nice condition. There are some minor wear and scratches here and there.It is in amazing condition. Please see all 12 pictures. I am a keyboard player and collector, Click on the pictures to see details.”
