“Sounds good. The volume slider may need cleaning, as it’s a bit crackly when adjusting volume, but ok once it’s set into place.

One key isn’t working. The 12th key in from the right side of the keyboard; see 7th photo in this listing.

I played around with the sounds, and it seemed fine. I’m not versed in how to use it, so I’m sure I didn’t try every feature on it; but what I did sounded good through an amp.

Being sold “AS IS.”” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Vintage Kawai K3 Digital Wave Memory Synthesizer.
I’m the original owner of this fine vintage synth. You probably know that its synthesis techniques are pretty unique, and that the keyboard has a great pressure after-touch for controlling any patch parameter by leaning into it. Comes with an extra memory module.
Everything works well, with the following exceptions:
The volume slider wasn’t working so it was bypassed. For live control you’ll want a volume pedal.
The headphone jack isn’t working, but should be repairable. The low E key is a little tilted after a fix, and plays fine.
All outputs, pitch wheel, and edit controls are great, and the sound is perfect.”

“This particular unit is in very good cosmetic condition for an almost 40 yr old instrument. I tested all the sounds and all the selections are in working condition. The only thing I did find was 2 keys that will need attention. Please note the keys with the color stickers, the blue stickered key makes no sound and the brown sticker key needs to be pressed hard to make sound. Both keys were working when I bought it some 15 years ago but its been in my garage ever since and I am sure some dust has collected in the contacts over the years. I’ve seen videos on youtube on how to clean sticky or dirty contacts on keys, fairly simple but I just dont have the time or drive to do this anymore so I must sell it AS IS. ” Click here to visit listing on eBay

This classic is in need of maintenance or repair and is for someone who has the passion and desire to spend an afternoon taking it apart and give it the maintenace and attention it needs. Everything else including selectors, soundbanks, digital readout, pitch/tone wheel, looks to be responsive and in good shape but I am not a professional so just remember that. ” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Keyboard has been cleaned and fixed up by a professional. Slightly sticky on the bottom of the keyboard, Signs of age and wear on the entire keyboard in general. Missing the volume knob but it still works and is still usable. The Middle “G” Key was broken of and my friend epoxied it back, and tested it with a high intensity, it’s not coming off! Entire piece works great and he was suprised at how great this particular model sounds, as we fix these types often. Backup Memory and Battery very good, very clean inside. Random marks and scratches but excellent condition” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Chassis is in beautiful shape, the second B key needs to be pressed harder than the others – would be easy to open up and clean but I’m leaving it as is. One of the voices has a unique gritty character to it but definitely works. so as you go up and down the keyboard, that voice wind played sounds different than the others, not necessarily a bad thing it adds character to the unit. but if you wanted some thing as precise as it was from the factory, you could have someone repair it or replace it, my research shows it’s pretty inexpensive. All the functions I could test appeared to work. Only some very minor age cracking of the membrane but functions still work.” Click here to search for synths on eBay

“Kawai K3 Digital Wave Memory Synthesizer Ser#101794 Functions with Broken Keys

Additional Info: The increment dial is missing its knob (not included) but it is still movable. The number 1 spot under OSC display covering is missing and just the button is exposed and it does still function (see pics). There are 5 keys broken off at the black key mark that still work (see pics). There is some light sticker residue near the digital display. The top plate is missing its screws so the plate does lift up and open (see pics screws not included).

Additional Information from General Search: Underrated 80s classic. 6 voice polysynth with 2 digital oscillators that lets you choose from any of 32 waveforms from traditional analog waveforms to complex waveforms for killer bells and choir timbres.

” I purchased this from the original owner three or four years ago and its a lovely sounding analog synth in perfect working condition, however due to the lack of space in my studio I have replaced it with the rackmount version, hence the sale of this great synth.

Cosmetically its fair. it has some wear to the end caps, small scuffs and scratches to the body. The membrane sheet over some of the buttons have suffered some perforations and dents (previous owner had long fingernails I presume). there are some chipped keys underneath but this does not detract from the great sound this produces. ”

The bad overall tatty and has plastic to stop the membrane further degrading. When the unit is turned on 50% of the time on the voices will be distorted by a warbling digital tone. ”

“This is a vintage Kawai K3 Hybrid analog digital synthesizer. The issue is when a patch is selected some of the notes do not play. When a different patch is selected different notes do not play and the others that were not playing do.
