Description

**This is AT, in charge of cleaning. We’ve received a rather rare item today. It’s the sort of instrument you know exists but have never actually seen. This synthesizer is one such example. If you’re a Yamaha fan, I’m sure you’ve heard of it. This commemorative model, marking Yamaha’s 100th anniversary, was produced in a limited run of just 100 units. We don’t know how many of them are still in working order. If you keep looking elsewhere, you might miss your chance to buy one. Thank you!

Released in 1987 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Yamaha's founding, the DX7II Centennial Edition is much more than a mere synthesizer; it is a masterclass in design and a highly coveted artifact of electronic music history. Produced in a strictly limited run of only 100 units worldwide, this celebratory instrument takes the groundbreaking FM synthesis architecture that defined a decade and elevates it to unprecedented heights of luxury. For the serious collector or the dedicated audiophile, acquiring this model is an exceptionally rare opportunity to own a tangible piece of Yamaha's legendary sonic heritage.

The physical presence of the Centennial Edition is nothing short of mesmerizing. It abandons the traditional dark chassis of the standard DX7 series in favor of a stunning, brushed champagne-silver aluminum casing that exudes elegance. Every tactical interaction feels premium, thanks to the brilliantly accented 24-karat gold-plated buttons, sliders, and wheels that gleam under studio lighting. Most strikingly, this exclusive edition expands its playability with a 76-key semi-weighted keybed featuring fluorescent, glow-in-the-dark keys. This design provides an ethereal, captivating visual experience when played in a dimly lit studio or on a darkened stage, making it a true centerpiece that commands attention before a single note is even played.

Sonically, this instrument delivers the pristine, crystalline FM synthesis that revolutionized the music industry, but with the refined architecture of the DX7II FD. It offers expanded bi-timbral capabilities, allowing for incredibly lush, layered soundscapes with remarkable transparency, extended headroom, and an unexpected warmth that breathes life into digital synthesis. Whether you are seeking those iconic, sparkling electric pianos, punchy synthetic basses, or complex, evolving pads, this Centennial Edition delivers with flawless precision and unmatched aesthetic grandeur.

This Synthesizer is in Very Good condition. As photos show, the unit has some signs of aging, including some minor scratches and scuffs.**Select buttons 10 and 11 have been swapped. Tested by our professional technician and is working perfectly. All keys, buttons, and lights are working perfectly, and the display is fully intact and easy to read.
