"Mr. Enrico Cosimi shows a CRB Oberon mono synth to the audience..."
This is the first post featuring the CRB Oberon. You can find a few posts featuring the CRB Computer Band 2000 synth and CRB Diamond 725 Rhythm machine here. I did a quick search on the CRB Oberon and found the demos below featuring the following:
"Ultra rare Steelphon S-900 analog synthesizer in perfect working conditions (serial number 14) , sound amazing like a RA Minimoog early series due the discrete "TOP" components onboard its 9 cards, is possible to make different harmonics with all the divider sliders... weird and unique!
It also has Preset options with bass, leads and fx stored inside thru some cards with trimmers regulated for each preset.
Cosmetic side is very good, only one upper yellow wooden strip need a bit of paint, very easy service for say near mint! There were exemplars (one in as-is conditions) gone for more of 2k euros years ago.."
"A look inside - Uno sguardo dentro -
Prodotto in Italia negli Anni Settanta, questo raro synth fu uno dei primi a introdurre la novità dei preset su macchine monofoniche di piccole dimensioni (3 ottave). Mi auguro che il video serva ad apprezzarne le caratteristiche di costruzione e assemblaggio che hanno fatto "grandi" moltissimi sintetizzatori di quell'epoca. Anche in Italia.
Lo Steelphon del video è stato filmato prima degli interventi di restauro
Oggi sono introvabili. Il valore oscilla tra 1500 e 2300 euro, ma possono avere prezzi anche maggiori in base a condizioni di funzionamento e particolarità.
Grazie per aver scelto questo video."

"A Look Inside - A look inside -
Made in Italy in the seventies, this rare synth was among the first to introduce the new machines monophonic preset small (3 octaves). I hope the video will serve to appreciate the features of construction and assembly that have made "great" many synthesizers of the era. Also in Italy.
Steelphon The video was filmed before the restoration
Today they are unavailable. The value ranges between 1500 and 2300 euro, but they may have even higher prices based on operating conditions and circumstances."
See what comes in at 1:25, then see these posts (scroll). Note the color difference.
"David Bowie's rare video for Sense of Doubt, filmed in Hansa Studios, Berlin.
OK, people, I hear you, several of you are saying this wasn't done at Hansa. I would be perfectly willing to edit the video information to reflect the real location IF SOMEONE WILL PROVIDE IT. Give me convincing evidence that this IS or IS NOT filmed at Hansa and I may believe you. As it is, I am sticking with the info I received with the video. Don't comment about it further unless you have something useful to contribute."

Do not miss the Steelpone S900 Synthesizer. Great sounding synth and a great performance.
Sent my way via insektgod who had the following to say:
"It's in Italian but the music is universal...
Steelphone S900 Synthesizer
Roland 505
Korg PolySix
Ensoniq ESQ-1
Yamaha Motif
There's even some oscilloscope thrown in. I really like the "I nailed it" move at the end."
I previously put up a post on Vintage Synths Made In Italy. The Steelphon has recently been added to the list with a few more shots and a demo. Note the play button is right under this image when you get there.
