"The sound of these Quadras is simply not to be believed, I have been fortunate in my lifetime to own virtually all of the classic synths that everyone is always trying to get....that even includes a CS80....and I have to say, the sound of this Quadra is just mind numbingly awesome...in my opinion, the only synth i have ever heard that i thought sounded better was a Memorymoog, (which I used to own two of at one point)...yes, it's an illness.

The matching case is also in gorgeous condition and it was custom made to fit the keyboard EXACTLY.....it is a REALLY nice case in fantastic shape.

Here is some slightly sentimental back story on this instrument that you might find of interest.

I inherited this from my best friend, who sadly died a couple years ago of a heart attack....the money from the sale of this instrument will be used for college funds for my two young boys, who he was very close with....i think he would be very pleased with this decision.

This Quadra was my friend's pride and joy and he absolutely babied it. We were both HUGE Genesis fans....as you probably know Tony Banks wore his Quadra out on the Abacab album, and my friend and i were thrilled to ever even locate one of these rare keyboards in the first place....they are SO rare."
