🙋🏻♂️ Welcome and Foreword
Hello and welcome to my Reverb Shop!
Thank you for your interest in this listing. Every instrument I offer comes from my private collection and is treated with great care and respect. Each instrument is thoroughly checked and tested to ensure full functionality and excellent condition. Before any instrument is listed for sale, it goes through a professional multi-stage inspection by our technician. Only after successfully passing all functional and visual checks is it approved for listing.
I am aware that my prices may be above average, but this reflects my commitment to transparency, careful preparation, and customer satisfaction. Packaging alone takes 2–4 hours, with multiple layers of protection to ensure safe and worry-free transport. Quality — both of the instruments and my work — is my top priority. I am always available to answer questions and ensure a smooth buying experience.
Enjoy reading the description.
🎹 Information about the Item for Sale
I am offering one of the most exotic, legendary, and advanced monophonic analog synthesizers ever built: the Crumar Spirit. Released in 1983, this ultra-rare Italian synthesizer is a true holy grail for sound designers, born from a dream-team collaboration between Italian manufacturer Crumar and synthesizer pioneers Bob Moog, Jim Scott, and Tom Rhea.
The Crumar Spirit is widely considered one of the most flexible and sophisticated monophonic synthesizers ever created. It features a unique dual-filter design (the "Oberheim-style" SEM filter path and a specialized "Moog-style" ladder path) alongside an incredibly deep modulation matrix divided into "Auto-Mod" and "Manual-Mod" sections. With its unique "Outboard" effects loop path, ring modulator, and advanced envelope behaviors, it can produce everything from classic, earth-shaking Moog-style basslines to completely wild, modular-like experimental textures and sound effects.
Technically, this Crumar Spirit is in excellent operational condition. Because of its highly complex internal circuit design and vast array of routing options, these machines require expert, component-level technical attention to run correctly. This unit has been meticulously inspected, and all sliders, rotary pots, dual-wheel controllers, and internal signal paths function perfectly. Optically, it is beautifully preserved, displaying its striking vintage look and distinctive layout with only minimal, honest signs of age.
Please note: This listing includes the Crumar Spirit and the power cable.
