“I am selling my Yamaha CS-10. It has been tested and everything works perfectly well. Cosmectic condition is very very good for its age, some scratches here and there but nothing really noticeable.
Comes with the original manual. ” Link
” It’s time I parted ways with this fantastic synth to raise money for other equipment. Not once have I had a problem with it and I’ve enjoyed my time with it. I purchased the synth from a professional seller who repairs and restores them.
Great for bass lines, lead lines and other classic analog sounds as well as a plethora of unique sounds. Easy to use yet very versatile.
A few details…
The synth doesn’t come with MIDI but can be retrofitted, or a cheaper option (as the synth has CV/Gate) could be to use a MIDI to CV converter. The unit runs under 100V 50/60Hz so if you’re buying from a country that has a different power outlet (such as 240V) then you could use a power transformer which are easily available.” Link

“USED USED Yamaha CS 10 analog monophonic synth CS10 AS is
The function works but there are 4-5 keys which do not respond to touch action
So you have to fix it
You might get some small noise when you turn knobs but this is normal for vintage syntehsizer.
You can reduce or remove it if you constantly clean the unit
So when you receive it ,you can use it immediately
The condition is excellent, but it is not mint for scratches.
As with instruments of this age it does have some signs of use with some scuffs, scratches and marks here and there. There are some scuffs on the body but it looks quite good for its age.
You can see small scratches on our pictures” Link
“Verkaufe Yamaha CS-10 in sehr gutem Zustand (siehe Foto). Der CS-10 wurde unter anderem von Depeche Mode, Heaven 17 & Human League verwendet. Möchte man also diesen Sound erreichen, dann führt auch kein Weg an diesem Gerät vorbei. Er ist ein naher Verwandter des Korg MS-10 und erreicht seine klangliche Subversivität über ein LP/BP/HP-Multimodefilter. Besonders der Bandpass kann bei gut dosierter Resonanz Material für den experimentellen Gebrauch liefern, welches dem Gerät ein absolutes Alleinstellungsmerkmal gibt. Auch im Bassbereich hat er durch seine 64´er Oktave einiges zu bieten und stellt z.B. im direkten Vergleich so manchen aktuellen Analogen in den Schatten. Im Gegensatz zum MS-10 hat der CS zwei vollständige Hüllkurven und es können auch beide Waveformen des Oszillators stufenlos gemischt + Noisegenerator gleichzeitig verwendet werden. Dennoch ist er gegenüber dem MS-10 etwas unterschätzt, weshalb er auch heute noch eine günstige Alternative darstellt.
Das Gerät befindet sich in sehr gutem Zustand, kommt aus einem Nichtraucherstudio und hat nur minimale Gebrauchsspuren. Und zwar: Einige kleine Kratzer an der oberen Kante.” Link

” If you’re looking for some weird and unusual sounds this is the synth for you!
The CS 10 was Yamaha’s first venture into synths inspired by the success of the Moog.
In pretty good condition for its age which is probably over 30 years.
Has all the VCO’s,LFO’s,VCA’s,VFO’s you may need along with Attacks,Decays,Releases and Sustains.
Features a Pitch bend and Portamento slide controls.
On the back we have Trigger in and out and Key Volt in and out.
Takes a few seconds for the synth to settle down and sounds to come through but then the experimentation can start!” Link
“This Yamaha cs-10 has custom wood sides installed. Cosmteically the synth is very good except for a small dent on the back middle (see photos below).” Link

“Up for sale, Yamaha CS-10. Beautiful, overhauled, recapped and has a Kenton filter mod installed, which enables the control of the filter cutoff with a midi to cv controller like the Kenton Pro Solo mk2. Everything has been tested and calibrated to specs. Condition also is very good, check out the pictures.
No scratchy pots. No smoke smell. No surprises. ” Link
“The CS10 is a lovely monosynth, at a great price. It would make a great first entry into the world of analog synths, as it is relatively easy to use, and it has lots of easy to reach knobs for getting those crazy sounds it is capable of.
I am only selling this as I have just bought a Roland SH-101, and my girlfriend is making me get rid of one. I’m not happy about it!” Link
“The unit is 100% operational, with all functions working as expected.
The faders all work and are quiet.
The body is in very nice condition, there are some light scratches and a couple of shallow nicks which we’ve tried to display in the pictures.
There are some signs of wear on the fader caps and knobs.
All of the keys are fully functional.
All the PCBs are in good to excellent condition and there is no serious corrosion on the contacts. We spent time taking the dust out and cleaning the boards with rubbing alcohol. ” Link
“Overall, the synth is in wonderful working condition.
Cosmetic condition is excellent. Front panel is clean and scratch free. There are a couple of marks on the lower panel below the keys. The end panels have a couple of minor marks at the rear. There are a couple of small scuffs to the paintwork on the back. An 8.5 out of 10.
All knobs, switches and sliders are present, original and function correctly.
All keys are clean and aligned and contact correctly.
This is a 100v model.” Link
“This example is in perfect working order having just been professionally serviced by James Walker of Synth Repair Services so you can be confident that everything works correctly, safely and smoothly. This is a UK voltage model so you won’t need a convertor.
Cosmetically the CS-10 is in fair condition, there are lots of chips and marks especially along the top and rear edge and there is a crack in the left-hand end panel (see pics). Overall though nothing out of keeping with its vintage.” Link
“Vintage Yamaha CS10 monophonic analog synth.
If this machine could talk it would ahve some stories to tell.
Recently .serviced. Portamento slider replaced. In working order.
No more to say really. It has some scratches and the corner is broken off one key. See pics.
There are indoor shots taken today 3 June 2012 and some outdoor shits taken before I replaced the slider tabs.” Link
“Nachdem das gute Stück jetzt bestimmt schon 3 Jahre unbenutzt bei mir verbracht hat, habe ich mich jetzt endlich dazu durchgerungen den Synthie zu veräußern. Ich habe leider einfach keine Zeit mehr Musik zu machen. Es war mir nie wirklich begreiflich warum die CS Serie von Yamaha nicht so populär geworden ist wie die beiden Korg MS. Klar, der Sound ist anders, aber ich zumindest habe den Sound der CS Reihe immer geliebt. Das Gerät kann gern nach Absprache getestet werden. Ich würde sagen, der Synthesizer ist in einem altersgemäßen Zustand – wie man auf den Bildern sieht. Hab nochmal alles getestet. Alle Funktionen soweit einwandfrei. Alle Tasten funktionieren. Für Fragen stehe ich gern zur Verfügung.
Schaut auch nochmal in meine anderen Auktionen rein, ich mach gerade etwas Platz. Da gibts auch noch einen SH-101, TR-606, TR-707, Yamaha CS01, Breath Controller BC3 oder Korg VC10 Vocoder.
Habe das Gerät nach bestem Wissen und Gewissen beschrieben. Ich kann allerdings als Privatverkäufer keinerlei Gewährleistung geben bzw. ein Rückgaberecht einräumen. Mit Abgabe eines Gebotes erklären Sie sich damit einverstanden. ” Link

“A classic mono synth with a very sweet sound. It is in decent condition (see photos), with a few knicks etc.
I would say however, that it does need a service. I’m not a technician so I’m really on speculating that:
The output of the sawtooth oscillator seems low, the keyboard triggering seems a little off, and I would
also say the pitch bend and portamento faders need a clean to run a bit smoother. The ends could
also use some new screws.
Other than that all functions seem to work as normal and all keys and and knobs respond well.
It has cv/gate input/outputs and a really nice filter that can be fed any audio signal.” Auction ended. Click here to browse on eBay.

Has some minor scratching to the edges of the metal panels that has been well touched up and is now only visible in certain light.
