EMS Synthi AKS (Serial 45242.KS)
One owner from new EMS Synthi AKS for sale in very clean condition indeed. A rare chance to buy an excellent fully-serviced one owner example of this iconic synth.
Supplied freshly-overhauled and in perfect working order. The cosmetic condition is excellent, especially the face/keyboard (the case has minor scuffs/scratches and oxidation to the catches which has been cleaned/polished) as you'd expect from a low use one-owner synth.
The original owners purchased this new from Peter Zinovieff in person from the EMS premises in London (together with a Synthi A and HiFli). They were used extensively by husband and wife Michael and Carole Wade to record music in their home in the north east of England as Octoepus.
Michael sadly passed away at the begining of the year. Carole and her son, Ash, brought these to us last week together with the Synthi A (now sold) and a boxed Roland System 100 Model 104 Sequencer. All had been sitting in cupboard for many years though sadly Michael didn't get on with the Synthi HiFli so it was taken to the local tip about 30 years ago!
There's a photo of Michael in their studio using the EMS/Roland synths in the gallery.
We are offering this instrument on behalf of a client. If you have vintage synthesizers or studio gear you are considering selling, please get in touch - we are happy to discuss consignment options.
