Skyline Fortynine P (Hohner Little Lady) 49 Key String-Orchestra Synthesizer

via this Reverb listing

Video in the listing previously posted here. "If you know, you know. These almost never show up, and there’s next to no info online. It’s one of the hardest Hohner keyboards to track down.

This unit is in excellent condition, both technically and cosmetically. The real-wood casing is beautifully preserved with only light signs of use. Keys, switches, sliders—all exceptionally clean.

Everything functions perfectly.

All sound registers can be switched or blended freely
Built-in vibrato + sustain
Dedicated bass voice for the lowest octave (individually switchable)
Individual volume controls for each section
Key contacts are flawless—no dead notes or crackle
Accompaniment System:
The auto-accompaniment can run silently if you want only the bass sequencing. Changing rhythms reshapes the bass pattern, making for surprisingly interesting and musical sequences. The onboard memory hold lets you tap a bass key once and have it sustained automatically—works even without the rhythm section active.

Sound Output:

Built-in speaker underneath (clean, zero distortion)
Line-out on the rear for external amps
Pedal input (pedal not included)
Dimensions: approx. 82cm W × 19cm H × 40cm D
Weight: approx. 12.7kg

A seriously rare piece—clean, fully working, and ready for a new home."

"Playing polyphony on the Skyline Fortynine P analogue synthesizer.

I played 10 keys and could hear them but didn't have a camera tripod to hold camera, sorry!"


via this auction

Note this is not the physical unit in the video above.

This is the first Skyline post. I'm curious if this has a strings and other sections.

Update: it appears this is a re-branded Hohner Little Lady. Thanks goes to David L for writing in to let us know!

Hohner Little Lady


via Philippe Van den Berge

"I have stumbled here on a strange and unknown hohner keyboard. Unknown because I seem to find no information whatsoever about it. I have mailed hohner germany today, and i hope they will have some answers. On the other hand, they may not, so I thought about letting you know about it."

If anyone knows more about this one feel free to comment or email me. My contact info is on the bottom right of the site.

Update: DenDer wrote in to let me know this is for sale on synthforum.nl here. He will try to get some more info from the seller.

Update: description from the forum translated by DenDer:

"I have a Hohner Little Lady and it is a keyboard and not the harmonica. There is a built-in (analog) rhythm section which has the typical tango, swing, waltz beat in them. Thee sounds are very basic: Flute 16' Flute 8' Trombone 16' String 16' Clarinet 8' which can be used separately or together - say additive. He has a separate bass manual option, where the left half (first octave) accounts for the bass. Or automatically when the rhythm is running which Hohner calls "magic bass" Wooohoo!
There is an aluminum stand which strongly reminds me of a Yamaha CS80. There are also "wood side panels" present. The Little Lady also has a build in speaker on the underside of the case."

Update: you can find an mp3 via Philippe of the Little Lady here.

Update: pics of the inside added below.

Update: this was also branded as the SKYLINE FORTYNINE P. Thanks goes to David L for writing in to let us know!
