The amazing new 'super articulation voice' naturally reproduces the sound of acoustic instruments. One such example is using the touch of the keyboard to express more natural way to match the performance, the playing of acoustic instruments, the friction sound of finger playing and smooth staccato and legato which is indispensable to the performance of wind instruments and guitar.

YAMAHA GX-1
Recently I went to an outer suburb of Sydney to have a look at a special musical instrument to buy for one of my customers.
A YAMAHA GX-1; An analog synthesizer.
YAMAHA sold this Electone from 1975 to the early 80’s.
They sold for JPY 7,000,000 at that time.
30 years later I managed to find and see this super rare musical instrument in Australia.
I am about to organize to ship this item to Pete Townshend of The Who in London.
He said he is going to put this instrument in his museum and is excited to also get the chance to use it in the future in one of his projects.
Maybe you can see this beautiful piece of music history if you get the chance to visit his museum in the future.
Pete is very excited to receive this new addition for his museum and wrote this to us:

Guess I now know where the family vacation will be in 2016.
