"Demo of vintage analog synthesizer Korg Mono/Poly for Reverb.com"
via this auction
"Here's a unique, vintage Korg Mono/Poly. It works 100% and was calibrated last week. Original Korg hardcase included.
Addressing the Elephant in the Room:
This amazing custom panel is handmade, the attention to detail is meticulous!
It comes from Japan originally, where I bought it.
I like to believe that the mysterious designer behind the custom panel is none-other than Satoshi Kon (R.I.P.), amazing director of Japanese films such as 'Perfect Blue' and 'Paprika'.
His brother was a guitarist and at that time, in the early 80s he studied Graphic Design at the Musashino Art University. Kind of fits the bill, but don't quote me on that! ;)
It's a fairy tale!
But who knows, right?
So the panel is glued on and the only way to find out the status of the old, original panel would be to destroy this masterpiece. Plus, on top of that Behringer (uhg!) cloned it. So this is perfect! It's a unique synth, sounds insane and is super inspiring.
Only a slight blemish on the front panel, barely visible and one of the wooden corners needs a bit of attending to (wood glue). Other than that; it's perfect.
