"An amazing synth with a cool history! This DX5 was apart of Oingo Boingo's touring rig during the 'Dead Man's Party' era. As soon being played by Michael Bacich in various live performances most notably "Live at the Ritz". The gentleman I bought this from purchased around 1989 from a used shop. He played it for a couple of years, then threw it in his closet. I purchased in 2016 and have lovingly cared for it since.

There are some various scratches and dings throughout the keyboard and the wood sides, but overall is in great shape for the age and touring history.

-Removing each key and soaking in soapy water
