"This is the 1191 model; the very first model released in 1974 (which in my opinion make it even more rare since there were less than 300 units total ever made.) It is in great condition considering it is 40 years old. There are a couple of chips in the wood and scratches on the face yet nothing really serious compared to the seriousness of its devastating tone !!
A rare example of a very unique and exceptional portable 3-VCO monophonic analog synthesizer that rivals the popular Minimoog with its fat tone but also the EMS Synthi with its huge range of additionable modulations. All at the tip of a clever assortment of switches, no need of patch-cords nor pins. This one is in very good cosmetic and technic condition for its age. Apart from some serigraphy gone here and there and a few - sometimes scratchy - pots it really looks great and behaves as it should, which could be described as 'wonderfully' !"
