# Yamaha CS-50
“A fantastic vintage 1976 Yamaha CS-50 polyphonic Synthesizer.
I have played a few synths in my time. Jen, Korg, Roland, Casio, Oberheimer. I was very surprised how easy the CS-50 is to play. It has a great keyboard action, just like the modern Yamaha
’s. Nice warm presets with big switches for fast sound changes. Great real-time tweaking with waveform, envelopes etc. it has a very funky touch response. Easy octave changer, portamento, modulation, everything you need for pads and especially solos. It’s a proper synth for serious musos, looks and sounds great. Comes complete with stand which is fitted into the lid of it’s flight case. All the controls are in perfect working order.
There are a few minor faults.
1. One of the slider tops is missing but the slider works as normal.
2. The catch on the cable box underneath is not locking I think it
’s stuck in.
3. No user manual but this can be found online.
4. The foot controller was not included in the case when I got it, but my yamaha sustain pedal works with it. These are easy to buy.
Apart from these things it is in good condition for a synth of it
’s age. Pick-up only or you can arrange your own courier.” Link
