"Full serviced Ondioline to sell (huge and amazing hours spent to service this superb Ondioline)"

via this listing

A few pics of the inside below.

"Nowdays Ondioline are becoming extremely rare even in France where they were hand-crafted during the 40's to 60's

This one is in VERY good condition AND is absolutely a real and magic pleasure to play- Nothing except original Ondes Martenot can provide such a feeling and so organic sounds !

Tuning is perfect (A440 on all 4 octave for each key)

This particular model has the great and very efficient improvement : Sub OSC for very loud sub harmonics if needed !

it has been fully serviced from September to December 2023 by very competent technician who spent around 50 hours to do the huge work needed for a very nice AND playable Ondioline

(this tech knows the Ondioline as he serviced in the past over 10 units)

He has done a very meticulous and respectful work (all electric wires have been changed, new components when necessary, PSU serviced, ground connection, all keyboard connectors cleaned for a good contact, and completely level keyboard...HUGE work !!)

the Knee level barrer is a new one, the string (useful for 'Castagnette' , Bongo ...) is the original one and of course efficient.

You might know there are differences between Ondiolines due to the technology evolution, hand made craft, components...) so please don't compare with an other one which will sound different

Have a look and listen to what this one is capable of
