Yamaha CS-60 — 61-Key Polyphonic Synth with Aftertouch & Ribbon Controller

The Yamaha CS-60 is one of the most expressive polyphonic analog synthesizers of the late 1970s, sharing much of the architecture and character of its larger sibling, the CS-80, in a more compact and manageable format. With 8-voice polyphony, true aftertouch, and a long ribbon controller mounted above the keys, the CS-60 blurs the line between synthesizer and performance instrument.

This unit comes from a recording studio environment and has been professionally maintained, remaining 100% functional, perfectly tuned, and in collector-grade condition. The signature velvet ribbon controller allows for dramatic pitch bends and performance gestures that few instruments—vintage or modern—can replicate.

The CS-60 is prized not as a “special effects” synth, but as a deeply playable musical instrument with rich, organic tone and dynamic response that rewards expressive players.
