"Roland SH-2000 from the early 70s, the second synthesizer ever made by Roland. It is a monophonic anologue synthesizer with 30 preset sounds. They can be modified with the "borrowed" Moog ladder filter built in, that can also be modulated by an LFO. Additionally portamento, vibrato, pitch bend, volume and master tuning are available, as well as a "WOW" and a Growl effect. All these should be assignable to aftertouch, but is not working as intended I think. The pins at the bottom of the note stand broke off as seen in the pictures. The synth was tested, is in great condition and comes with original wooden case that it was sold in."

"An 80's analogue dream machine...from the classic design look to the well thought through layout to the sounds!!! 8-voice polyphonic beauty. All working (tested today!). In very very good condition, just a minor few marks on the metal side cheeks but the rest is rather minty....."
