🙋🏻♂️ Welcome to SynthFreak!
Hey and thank you for visiting my shop and for your interest in this synthesizer! Every instrument in my shop comes from my private collection and is treated with the highest level of care. My mission is simple: you receive a vintage instrument that performs flawlessly, not a "fixer-upper."
Before any item is listed, it undergoes a rigorous, multi-stage inspection by our technician. I know my prices reflect a premium compared to "as-is" listings, but this is a deliberate choice. When you buy from me, you are investing in a fully verified, professionally serviced, and risk-free collector’s item that is ready for the studio the moment you plug it in. You avoid the hidden repair bills and frustration that often accompany cheaper, unverified gear.
💎 Why You Invest in Quality
My pricing directly reflects the extensive time, technical expertise, and premium materials required to deliver an investment-grade instrument. Here is exactly what is included in your purchase:
- 🛡️ Double Technical Verification: Every instrument undergoes a comprehensive checkup before being listed. To guarantee perfection, the entire unit is tested again right before it is packed. Any component replacement, calibration, or display upgrade is handled by specialists so you receive a turn-key, flawless instrument.
- 📦 Premium Custom Packaging: Vintage electronics are fragile and irreplaceable. To ensure 100% safety during international transit, we do not use standard shipping methods. We spend hours custom-building heavy-duty, multi-layered packaging or bespoke wooden crates. This professional-grade preparation guarantees that your investment arrives in the exact condition described.
- 🚀 Worldwide Fastest FREE Shipping: I believe in delivering excellence to your doorstep without extra costs. Every purchase includes expedited, fully insured worldwide shipping at no additional charge, ensuring your instrument arrives as quickly and safely as possible.
- ⚡ Power & Global Connectivity: My instruments are configured for EU 230V. If requested, I can perform a free internal voltage conversion where technically possible. If not, I recommend a high-quality external step-up transformer (approx. $50). This is the preferred, risk-free solution for 90% of my international customers, allowing you to power multiple EU-spec devices simultaneously without compromise.
- 📑 Customs & Import Optimization: International shipping often brings unexpected financial burdens. Our dedicated logistics team reviews each shipment individually to prepare customs declarations strategically. This compliant, professional approach helps minimize or entirely avoid unnecessary import fees and taxes for you.
- ✅ Transparency & Peace of Mind: I document the entire process and prioritize full professional transparency. You avoid the hidden risks, dirty interiors, and immediate repair costs that often come with cheaper 'as-is' listings from private sellers.

🎹 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.
