I’m moving country soon so my studio is being stripped back to the bare essentials and sadly that means it’s time to say goodbye to one of my favourite bits of kit in my studio the Yamaha DX7. 

 

 

The go to FM Synth for badass rhodes emulation, 80s cheese, leads, pads and and cutting bass metallic stabs!!
I purchased this Synth secondhand around 3 years ago and it’s given been so much joy. Although the unit I’m selling has a little bit of wear and tear from the previous owner I have never had any issues with it since I owned it and a currently has all of the functions working in good order. It also had a minor service about a year ago with no problems reported.
I’ve tried to take as many photos as I could of the slight superficial damage it has which you should be able to see in the photos. Namely a couple of stickers which I chose not to remove, one small crack on the back of the unit near the audio outs, some marks near the power cable where a sticker has been removed and a few smaller scratches on the top of the unit.
Please feel free to message me with any questions or queries you have about the unit or if you would like to come see it before your bid as I want to make sure it goes to the right person who gets exactly what they want from it.
Unit Sold : As Seen and Collection Only (The unit is surprisingly heavy and I would not want to post something this old in case it is damaged in transit)
