“This is a used Yamaha Keytar. It is in excellent operating condition and good condition, cosmetically. There are scattered scratches throughout with concentrated scratches on the head and neck. As the pictures indicate, the battery cover is missing as well as a post to connect the strap. The original power supply disappeared long ago, but I am including another 12V adapter which has served me well. ” Link

“THIS LITTLE RETRO PEICE IS A KEYBOARD KEYTAR. IT MAKES SOME PRETTY AWSOME VINTAGE SYNTH SOUNDS, BUT MOST PEOPLE USE THIS AS A MIDI CONTROLLER BECAUSE IT HAS A MIDI OUT. THIS AX HAS SCRAPES AND STUFF AND THERE IS SOME STICKER REZ FROM WHEN SOMEONE PUT THOSE STUPID KEY MARKER STICKERS ON IT YEARS AGO. I LOVE THIS THING, BUT I’M JUST TOO FAT TO HAVE A SMALL KEYTAR STRAPPED ON STAGE, I LOOK STUPID. OH AND THE VOLUME IS A BIT SCRATCHY ON THIS ONE. ” Link

“Hi, and thanks for looking! This auction is for a Yamaha SHS-10R vintage 1980′s keytar. This item has been tested and given a light cleaning. It does work, sounds great, all buttons were tested and it all works perfectly. Pitch bend, voice selection, etc, all works. I do not have the equipment to test the MIDI functions. This one does have the very important battery cover, and both strap buttons are still present. It is unmodified. There is a couple light scratches on the body in a few spots but no outright abuse. This is a good instrument and you will enjoy its awesome sounds. As you can see in the picture, some of the keys lean to one side, I don’t know why that is, they work fine, and are not loose. Just an observation. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask! Batteries not included, uses 6 AA’s or a 9V wall wort. I tested it with batteries. ” Link

This Yamaha SHS10 keytar plays great, just like it did have in the late 1980s.
It has lots of different features, beats, and sounds.
These were built in 1987 and only came out in Black, Gray, and Red… you can bid on a red one here!

It has a few light scratches but nothing major. Everything works great!

What is included is the Keytar, User Manual, Playing Electonic Keyboard for Beginners Book.

The SHS-10 does not include a strap.
It will take either an ac adapter or six AA batteries, neither included.

It’s been tested with both adapter and batteries and the cool little keytar works perfectly fine.
I have also had this hooked up to my computer for the MIDI connection and it works well. ” Link

” Up for sale is a Yamaha SHS 10 Keytar/MIDI controller. The device is in very good condition, both cosmetically and electronically, the one minor snag is that is has no battery door on the back, but I have never had a problem with the batteries falling out or anything like that. Its had light use and I have taken very good care of it. It runs on double A batteries (6 of them) and that battery life is fairly long. There are 44 voice selections and 44 style selections. A chord sequencer, rhythm control, and a pitch wheel. And various settings such as tempo and tuning. It will plug into an amplifier or double as a MIDI keyboard. I will also include a neck strap for upright playing, with the Yamaha logo on it. The device is very cool and you really dont see to many of them anymore.” Link

“Up for Auction is a Red Yamaha Keytar Keyboard with original box and original strap. Keyboard is in very good condition with very little to no wear, all keys work, pitch wheel works good, haven’t checked the midi but will if asked. Comes with original box (box has slight wear) and original strap! Still has battery cover! No power adapter or manual though, but works fine with just 6 AA batteries.
This was left behind and unclaimed from a former tenant so i don’t know much about it. Box smells a little funny… figured I’d let ya know…
Since i was not the previous owner of this, i can’t tell you much about it, item is sold as-is but don’t let that statement throw you off, this keytar seems to be in fantastic condition… I’m just not the keytar type and didn’t delve into all the features of it.” Link

*Note: This keytar is NOT equipped with time-travel capabilities.

OK, enough joking around. You’re looking at a Yamaha SHS-10 Keytar. As you can see from the pictures, there is ONE key missing. (the result of rocking out WAY too hard)

Other than that, it’s in excellent condition. No cracks, chips, or major scratches. All of the lettering, buttons, and switches are still there. It even has its battery cover.

This puppy sounds great, and everything works 100%. (the missing key still works, just press the small rubber pad)” Link

“A Rare Grey/silver Yamaha SHS-10 Keytar Midi FM Keyboard in excellent condition!.

Red keytars are widely available in the US, grey keytars on the UK and Black and SHS-200 (in white)in Japan!

Yamaha Keytar is a small-sized keyboard with 32 minikeys and a pitch-bend wheel, vibrato and sustain buttons, an internal Frequency Modulation (FM) synthesizer offering 25 different voices (#24 wood bass being my favorite) with 6-note polyphony, two operators, and a very basic chord sequencer.

Has a loudspeaker, supports MIDI (having a MIDI Out connector, which allows the keyboard to control external MIDI equipment).

This keytar’s MIDI out features are very powerful. Its drum rhythms and accompaniment are transmitted on separate MIDI channels, so that an external drum machine, sampler, or other MIDI equipment can be programmed to play the backing parts. Drums are transmitted on channel 16; Bass on 15; and three chord harmonies on channels 12-14. MIDI start/stop and tempo sync are also transmitted so an external sequencer may be utilized as well.

Unit comes with strap, can be run on AA batteries ( included).

All in 100% working condition.

Condition:

Some small scratches here and there, but not bad looking at all.

It does have a crack on the back cover, which has been repaired and reinforced, but as you can see on the pictures it’s hardly visible and does not interferes with playing at all.

Missing it’s battery lid.

both strap pegs have been replaced with brass peg” Link

” Decent condition, comes with an AC adapter, and works fine other than a few things:

1) Key broke off (please see pictures) but looks like an easy fix.

2) The rear panel is pushed in slightly (as can be seen from the pictures). The midi port works fine, but the power turns on and off when it’s moved around (you have to move the pin up slightly for it to stay on. Battery power works fine though so it definitely still plays! I’m pretty sure this isn’t a difficult repair if you wanted it fixed.

This keytar was an absolute blast to play, and as an added bonus I used to hook it up as a controller for my Alesis keyboard and it sounds ridiculously awesome! Also, this one actually still has it’s battery cover (a lot of them lose that for some reason).” Link

In addition to its clearly obvious appeal as a MIDI controller for top notch live stage performances, it is actually a decent little FM (Yamaha DX-7 Style) synthesizer as well. It has 25 voices and 25 preset rhythms, and also a basic sequencer. I tested it just last week and everything works great. There are some scratches, mostly on the back, and a ding at the end of the neck, but nothing any worse than all of these other ones on ebay have too.

“THE ORIGINAL KEYTAR!!!

This is a Yamaha SHS-10 (aka The Original Gangsta). This model was originally introduced in 1987, and it quickly started the Keytar revolution. This SHS-10 happens to be red – the most desirable color (only black, silver and red were made).

This keytar is in great working condition. All of the keys and all of the settings work. The battery door has been misplaced over time, so it’s not included (see photos). There is a wall power supply included, but it’s not the original Yamaha one. Both of the original strap knobs are in place, so you can throw a guitar strap on and start rocking/keying up right away.

The cosmetic condition of this unit is very good. Light surface marks, but no cracks or signs of abuse to the plastic. The internal speaker works and is nice and loud. The number display also works.

To sum this up – this is an OG keytar from the 80′s, and it’s in good shape for it’s age. What more could you ask for” Link
