"Made by Italian manufacturer Sisme, the Godwin String Concert 249 has 49 non-velocity sensitive keys. You can mix together the three sound sources (Cello 16' / Viola 8' / Violin 4') and process them through the bass, treble, chorus and tremolo controls. The output section comprises Attack and Sustain and Master Volume. Tuning is done with a rotary control on the rear panel, and the mono output is via a high or low-output 1/4" jack sockets. There is also an expression pedal socket (this is not sustain pedal socket though)."

"Very rare string synth from Godwin, I think made in the 70s and very much in the Solina mould, the String Concert 249 gives the vintage analogue sound and authentic look.
Built in to a tolex case with removable lid and carry handle, which is all in excellent condition with no tears or scuffs, this is a classic analogue string machine with a 4 octave keyboard and hands-on controls for all parameters. Cello, Viola, and Violin voices are 16', 8' and 4' so each 1 octave apart and each layer has a volume slider. There are master treble and bass sliders, Attack and Release settings, and master volume, as well as the unique and dreamy Chorus/Tremolo section with separate sliders for each (rather than the simple on/off switch of say the Solina) giving the ability to vary the classic analogue chorus effect from subtle to swirling and thick."
