For sale, a 1980's Yamaha SK-20 Symphonic Ensemble vintage organ and synthesizer in near perfect/mint condition. Used in a private studio only.

The synthesiser has a dedicated synthesizer, organ and string sections that can be independently mixed together.

Featuring a five-octave range, the SK-20 also includes a Leslie simulator (with dedicated output), vibrato, attack and sustain rocker switches, a slider for 'brilliance' and a one-octave transpose switch. The keyboard was also one of the first to utilize a form of Yamaha's FM technology.

The Organ section offers a full range of stop levers from 1' to 16', percussion levers with adjustable decay, and controls for overall sustain, brilliance and decay. Very B3-esque in its tonal intent, the organ can also be augmented with Vibrato and Tremolo. The Preset String section is simple yet lush, and arguably the most desirable subset of this vintage keyboard.

The Poly-Synth section is a 7-note polyphonic synthesizer with basic filter, pitch, envelope, and portamento controls. It features two (detunable) oscillators per voice, making it ideal for thick pads. This section features a built-in sustain and the Tremolo and Ensemble chorus effects also apply to this section.

Cosmetically, this SK-20 is in extremely good condition, with only slight wear to the wood. All caps and knobs are original.

Only fault, is that the Ensemble feature is a bit noisy.

Any questions, please ask.

I would prefer pickup. I'm based near Chichester, however I travel to Surrey frequently, so a mutual drop off point could be organised. I will ship if necessary, please contact me for a quote.

P.S. Advertised elsewhere, so I have the right to cancel this advert.
