"A stunning, and rare, Italian-made Crumar Stratus analogue synth from the early 1980s in full working order.We are not keyboard players, but we have managed to rope in a friend, who does play in a band, to test it. He managed to get some pretty awesome sounds out of it and he immediately knew how to set it up for various voices (it’s nice to see a professional at work).
When we first saw this, we thought it must be a modern reproduction due to the excellent dust-free condition, until we looked closer and realised it was original and in pristine condition. From the condition, it is perfectly obvious that this has not been gigged and was presumably somebody’s personal toy until it was put away into storage.
We are aware that it has been kept in a loft for many, many, years in its original carry case, and as a result it is virtually dust-free, and the keys are bright white, and the knobs clean. All of the buttons and sliders are present. All of the potentiometers are scratch free (we didn’t have to squirt switch lubricant into any of them - they were all working like new!).
It also comes with three original overlays for the top control board to indicate six different settings for different voices and we guess that you will never see these on another one of these machines."
