Yamaha SY-20 Vintage Analogue Monophonic Synthesizer With Original Case And Foot Pedal.Superb Collectors Standard physical and working Condition.The SY-20 was Yamaha's last analogue synthesizer and dates back to 1982.
The SY-20 is super rare as it was never commercially sold outside of Japan and most of the controls are labeled in Japanese characters, so you will already need to be familiar with analogue synthesizers (or Japanese) to get to grips with this synth.
Close to new condition complete with original case and foot pedal.
The Yamaha SY-20 is a 44 key (aftertouch sensitive), monophonic analogue synthesizer, featuring 20 presets, portamento, LFO, resonant low or band pass filter, dedicated filter and amplifier (ADSR) envelopes, and a speaker.

The synth is a great budget source for those famous Yamaha CS sounds.I have uploaded plenty of pictures which were taken by the Japanese trader that I imported it from, the synth is now in even cleaner condition than photographed.
As this is a Japanese product you will require a mains stepdown converter such as the one linked to here for safe operation:

The cheaper white one is plenty good enough.I am not open to offers on this synth and am in no rush to sell it, it is very rare and in superb condition and the price takes into account the high cost of postage and Import Tax it took to get this synth in from Japan which I have saved you the job of doing.
This sale is UK only.Here's a video of the type of sounds you can get out of this great synth:
