"This is a beautiful 1980 Korg Trident analog synthesizer.

It works 100% and was completely serviced with recapped power supply and calibration in 2012.
It is in perfect tune right when you power on. No warm up time is needed.

All three sections: polysynth, brass, and strings work perfectly. All keys play perfect with no triggering problems. The flanger sounds wonderful, but is a little noisy (typical of old analog units).

The cosmetic condition of the Trident is incredible - only very minor imperfections keep this from appearing brand new. I'm sure many sellers would describe it as MINT but I am very picky and don't believe any 24 year old used instrument should be called that. But look at the photos and judge for yourself. I will say that this is absolutely one of the cleanest examples still in existence. It belongs in a museum. Or in your personal studio setup :)

Shipping will be at actual cost (may differ from ebay estimate). Use the following information to estimate costs using FedEx or UPS online calculators so that you are not surprised:

Dimensions (boxed): 43" x 11" x 25" (inches)
Weight: 60 lbs
Origin: Pasadena, CA 91107 USA"
