FS: Yamaha CS15

[Minimoog]

It is with heavy heart that I announce the putting up for sale of a chunk of knobtastic analogue #sobs#

I'll live to regret this I'm sure (in fact I already do) but I need to make some headway into my wedding costs which are still looming over me a year after the event. As soon as they're paid off I intend to replace them with some looming sporty little convertible costs instead

So, here it is.

I don't really want to ship it so it'll be going in the local ad-trader in the next day or so before I cast the net wider, but I thought it only polite to give you monkeys first dibs.

I think I'll probably sell my Roland R70 drum machine too, but I haven't got around to doing a snazzy web page for that one yet. Give me a shout if you might be interested.

Bummer man - it hurts to let gear go, doesn't it? As you know J, I had a CS15 (briefly) and I still miss it. I think it's a seriously underrated synth and a bloody snip at £275.
There's no practical reason why a CS15 should be half the cost of an Odyssey, is there? The CS is built like a (proper) Land Rover and is very flexible to boot. Just never caught on in the same way as the Moogs and Arps, I guess. Someone buy this synth!

I would buy it. If I had any money.
Gotta buy a new motor myself.

I fancy an Audi

Soft top ? Bit hairdresser Jordan

Jordan, you're bloody crazy. Keep her man!

If I had the spare, I'd buy it on a return later when finances improve basis but I really can't right now.

Can't you flog something else... like your CD collection (backed up on your PC first of course) or SOMETHING, just not your baby

Jordan, I would be very interested in this but would not be able to colect it from Tyneside & I guess posting it would be very risky? As Shaun says, isn't there something else you could sell instead, cos she looks & sounds lovely.

Just to play Devil's Advocate (how unlike me....), I posted mine to Europe when I sold it, without problem. Get ye yards of bubble-wrap cheap from your local garden centre and encase it in tough cardboard boxes (2 apple boxes taped together work ok)..

MMMM ! What do you recon Jordan ? I'd be game if you felt confident in packing her up well enough. Do you know of any reliable couriers (however you spell the word courier, courior, couriar) !
