"This listing is for an extremely rare YAMAHA CS-80 Vintage Polyphonic Analog Synthesizer. To add to its rarity, this particular CS-80 comes directly from the personal gear collection of legendary musician, Eddie Van Halen. This synth has been part of Ed's recording and touring rig and was in use up until the late 90's...
PHYSICAL CONDITION - Very Good. The outer case is a little beat up, some covering peeling at spots, the internal unit has some cigarette burns, a few minor blemishes, but it all looks very good overall considering the age. All knobs and sliders and buttons are intact and solid. Clean! WORKING CONDITION - Very Good. A small group of about 6 keys around the middle C have some movement side to side. This is believed to have been due to an intentional modification done by Ed, we are not sure why. It does not affect any of the normal functions of the keys. The unit has recently been serviced by a veteran Hollywood technician. All the various electronic functions have been tested and are working properly."
