"Fully serviced and 100% working with 60 day warranty for USA buyers. Everything pictured is included.

This is for sure the best sounding string machine I have heard or owned. I have owned A LOT of gear in my life. I sold a Freeman from my collection in 2011 and got positive feedback. I have been an admirer of these machines for a long time. After 25+ years of monkeying around with synths this is the best sounding string machine of all time in my opinion.

This guy works 100%. I recently had it serviced. All controls were cleaned and the keyboard rebuilt. Every aspect of the machine was gone over by a trusted tech and anything that needed to be done to make it perfect was done. One thing to note with these is the highest/last octave of the keyboard does not function in the low voice but that is by design.

The original pedal is included, (you almost never find them) the entire machine can be pitched down a major 2nd by pressing the edge of the pedal just like an organ. You can also control the volume. The original detachable lid and clear smoked lucite music easel are included.

The touch vibrato works, the spring reverb works, ensemble mode works, both high and low voices work and can of course be combined. The animation feature works, the sustainer works, the volume, treble, and bass all work.

At some point in this guy's life, someone cleverly placed smoked opaque heavy duty covering on the wood veneer particle board parts of the casing. This was smart because that is the most fragile part of the instrument and if you want to tour with one of these it will for sure get chipped.

The original fully removable keyboard cover is included as well as the smoked opaque music easel. This and the key-cover/lid completely detaches and is often lost (but are included). One clasp on one side doesn't completely line up..."
