This is my Yamaha SHS-10 keytar – I have used it mainly as a midi controller keyboard whilst dancing around my synths. It’s a cost effective and funky way to control things with midi whilst looking pretty cool (ish)
You can also take the audio out (headphones) connect it up to some guitar pedals and play using the built in tones. On their own the built in tones are lets face it a bit dated, but throw in a distortion and a delay, drop the pitch, use the portamento/sustain and pitch wheel and you will be on top of the pops before you know it.
Unfortunately the On/Off switch is missing, but it works and apart from that it is in full working condition.
It has the original yamaha strap !
no oxidised gunk in the battery compartment, i look after my organ and keep it clean.
a 9v power supply is included, although it is not the original, it is the right voltage, and amps so you can play as soon as you get it.
It is 30 years old, so it does obviously have a few scratches on it, but that is expected.
I will send courier, signed sealed delivered.. its yours!. you can collect it too if you prefer.
this is from wikipedia.
The Yamaha SHS-10, known in Yamaha’s native country, Japan, as the Yamaha Sholky, Sholky being derived from “Shoulder Keyboard”, is a keytar (a musical keyboard that can be held like a guitar) manufactured by Yamaha and released in 1987.
It has a small-sized keyboard with 32 minikeys and a pitch-bend wheel, vibrato and sustain buttons, an internal Frequency modulation (usually referred to as FM) synthesizer offering 25 different voices with 6-note polyphony, two operators, and a very basic chord sequencer. It also has a loudspeaker.
It supports MIDI, having a MIDI Out connector which allows the keyboard to control external MIDI equipment. It does not have a MIDI In connector. Although originally made for the consumer market, this keytar’s MIDI out features are very powerful.
Its drum rhythms and accompaniment are transmitted on separate MIDI channels, so that an external drum machine, sampler, or other MIDI equipment can be programmed to play the backing parts. Drums are transmitted on channel 16; Bass on 15; and three chord harmonies on channels 12-14. MIDI start/stop and tempo sync are also transmitted so an external sequencer may be utilised as well.
It was manufactured in three colors: grey, red, and black.
Its demo is an arrangement of Wham!’s hit “Last Christmas.”
