Roland SH-1000

“I bought this keyboard from a fellow musician around 1980. He had painted it black. All pots, faders, keys, switches, etc. are there. The only things missing are two of the bottom round pads it sits on. The last time I played it was at a gig in late 1987.

I no longer have an amp to hook it up and test it but I did put on headphones and scaled up and down the keyboard and turned and moved all the knobs/faders with minimal crackling. When I first turned it on it didn’t appear to be working, but once I started moving and playing things it jumped to life. Some of the switches had to be engaged a few times to start them but then they were good.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

Roland SH-1000

“Sure there is only one oscillator but it can play 4 octaves and 3 wave shapes at once. There’s also TWO LFOs. How many vintage analog synths can you find with 2 LFOs? It has that great 70’s sound that no modern synth has. The presets are pretty bad BUT the ability to instantly jump from your custom sound to a totally different sound and back makes for some really strange and unique playing.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“This is a fantastic example of an iconic synth. Not the rarest necessarily (although maybe it is in this condition) but sounds really amazing—to the surprise of some! Condition is generally excellent, considering that it’s fifty years old. Few small marks here and there, of the type shown in the last photo. Runs on UK voltage natively. ”

“These synthesizers were first introduced in 1973. Excellent condition for its age. It shows minor signs of wear on the wood like nicks and scratches. One of the keys on the bottom is missing some of the plastic and one key is missing the pin, also one knob is slightly chipped. Besides the aesthetics this thing sounds amazing but may need a little cleaning as it does have some static and crackling in some of the pots. Overall excellent machine for being almost 50 years old!

“Item: Roland Vintage Analog Synthesizer Sh-1000 sold for parts/not working.

This item only makes the correct sound on the first key, and then as you go a few keys up the sound goes down to where you can’t hear it.

The paddles are all working for the most part, and are in top condition.

The main control sliders all feel smooth, but some of the pots could use some cleaning/lubrication. The random note works and the portamento I could not test but everything else seems to work. Sweeping the filter sounds great.

The photos are fresh and original, so they are very much a part of the description. Cosmetically it’s got it’s blemishes, and is missing some knobs.

Very rare item in decent overall condition, for parts or restoration, and sold as-is with no returns.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Selling a early-mid 70’s Roland Sh1000 synthesizer. These are very rare units and so great when working properly. This one was the victim of an unfortunate packing job and arrived to me with wooden side off and 5 off the lever keys broken or cracked. The synth turns on and functions to some extent but will need fully gone through. The keys and wooden side are an easy fix but electronically it need overhauled. Could be a very fun project for someone with the skills. This synthesizer is sold as is.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Roland Sh-1000 Vintage 1970s Analog Mono Synthesizer – Condition is poor. The unit does power up but beyond that I have not tested. The unit has been sat in an abandoned recording studio and will fully servicing before use. It might also be useful for spares. Apart from the poor condition it seems to be undamaged otherwise.

Thanks for looking.

I am liquidating an old recording studio and will have, or will be listing a number of vintage pro recording tools and studio accessories. I have a lot of older MCI equipment, some of it very rare, most of it in pretty poor condition, untouched for some 20 years!” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Every knob and paddle work as they should!
Keyboard is in great condition.
Very few scratches and or dings for this vintage 1973 Synth.

Look at the Photos. This is a real collectors synthesizer!

This was my frist synthesizer. I now design and build customer synthesizers (Artisan Electronic Instruments)
I dissembled and cleaned this baby inside and out. I replaced a knob and paddle switch, tighten up all the bolts and nuts to bring her up to fully working condition. But After I put it all back together, two key contacts could still use a bit of cleaning. Crap. They work, but are a bit touchy. I didn’t want to open it again. But, really, this thing is in great condition.”

“Incredible vintage synthesiser. The SH-1000 was the first compact synthesiser produced in Japan, and the first synthesiser produced by Roland. My SH-1000 was manufactured in Sept 1974 (I’ve included a photo of the serial number for reference).

This one turns on and produces a good sound, but will require some professional maintenance to get it back up to full studio quality. There seems to be some glide/sustain between keys which can’t be turned off and will need fixing. As far as I can tell, buttons/switches are otherwise working ok – but again I’d recommend professional maintenance to ensure everything is back to 100%.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Up for sale is a Roland SH-1000 Used Synthesizer Keyboard, For Parts Or Repair, you get exactly what’s in pictures, for parts or repair, AS-IS. This was bought at a storage unit sale and sorry I know very little about vintage Synthesizer Keyboards therefore I am selling as seen in pictures and as I bought it. Here’s what I do know; I plugged a cord into the outlet on the synthesizer and plugged the other end into a receiver’s mic access. I turned it on and got it to play all the individual instruments on the far right side, and all seem to function as they should. Some played extra notes, but I think they’re supposed to do that, but not sure. There are 3 keys that are missing / broken, 2 far left and 1 in the middle all still can be turned on and off.
That was all that I tested,
other than that, all switches, knobs, etc, turn smoothly, as they should.” Click here to search for synths on eBay

“Roland SH-1000 vintage synth, Roland’s first synthesizer, and supposedly the first keyboard synthesizer made in Japan. In good shape, missing one knob, has one knob missing the silver top, wood has wear, and there are some scratches (see pictures), but has all the selector tabs, and everything works as it should. Does take about 20 seconds to warm up when switched on before it produces sound, I’ve been told that’s typical, but wanted to make that clear. Can be operated as a preset synthesizer with the 10 preset tabs, or you can create your own sounds using the waveform selection tabs and assorted modifiers. Has vibrato and tremolo with a choice of two waveforms, white and pink noise, random note generator, portamento, note glide, filter controls, ADSR, and an octave selector switch. Sounds very good, can create some great sounds due to the ability to select multiple waveforms/octaves at the same time.” Click here to search for synths on eBay

“ALL of the keys (Black & White) Trigger properly producing ALL of the sounds associated with the keyboard (Both preset and Waveform created). Some of the Sliders are a little hard to slide in particular the sliders for the Cut-Off Filter & Resonance which don’t seem to produce much change. Also, some of the POTS are a little scratchy and one or two of the Tab Switches may be a little loose and need some tightening. Other than that the keyboard seems to be in relatively GOOD Condition But, Still given its age (stated above) I must sell this AS IS due to the fact that electronic parts in a Vintage Keyboard like this tend to just ‘go’ pretty suddenly and without any warning.

As you can see my penchant for all things black led me to paint all of the white keys black rendering the keyboard extremely Striking and Unique! ”

“This unit is cosmetically pretty clean apart from some obvious nicks, dings, and chips that one would expect of a synthesizer of this age. Please check photos as I’ve tried to point out the main blemishes.

Unit has been thoroughly checked and is nearly 100% fully functional with some minor crackling of pots and switches here and there . . . this is a 46 year old synth after all. All knobs, switches work and feel solid and keyboard triggers reliably. The following are minor things I noticed while testing that should be mentioned . . .

White/pink noise switch can be a bit fiddly at times, but is mostly no problem.

Portamento can be a bit dodgy in terms of pitch tracking sometimes. . . again, mostly no issue.

The C# key in the middle octave sticks up slightly higher than adjacent keys. It triggers just fine and feels good to play, but is uneven compared to the rest of the keyboard. Please see photo.

I am not 100% sure if the VCF ADSR tab is working properly. When engaged, the ADSR does not effect it. The VCF ADSR pot will simply produce a positive offset to the cutoff frequency regardless of how the envelope is set. However, when both the VCF & VCA ADSR tabs are engaged, then the filter will respond to the envelope controls as you would expect. I believe this is the proper behavior considering there’s only a single envelope, but I’m not 100% certain. You’ve been informed.”

“Roland SH 1000. Good Physical condition, Minor Faults. 1973.. Condition is Used. Dispatched by courier 3 working days, collection welcome.

Roland SH 1000 Synthesizer, 1973, first Roland synthesizer, with original hard case and music stand.

The synth is complete although a few of the knobs are loose and some are damaged. It’s about 99% operational, all of the pre-sets work, as does the proper analogue control bit and it could easily be used as is, however, there are a couple of issues, the pot marked ‘sine/square rate’ in the mod.gen section and the tremelo amp. mod. pot, are stuck, as far as i can tell everything works as it should and it seems likely to me that it’s just the pots themselves that need replacing or even just freeing up. ”
