Hey Everybody,

From time to time, I help my friend sell his gear only because I endorse the condition, reputation and under no circumstance would I "risk" my 100% positive feedback otherwise. I'm making nothing from this deal either. Just helping him and you. This being said, this Yamaha DX7 FDII is absolutely MINT condition plus never traveled and comes from a smoke free home. My friend is the original owner and has treated it like a baby. Comes with the Yamaha flight case, sustain pedal and owners manual can be downloaded here http://www2.yamaha.co.jp/manual/pdf/emi/english/synth/DX7IIE.PDF. No keyboard stand included. It is original condition and not motified in any way.

It will be carefully packaged and shipped FedEx with tracking information provided. In addition to your questions you may have, I have ask my friend to be available for you to contact. Please call Doug at 865-207-1489. Finally, Doug isn't an Ebay regular is why I'm helping out. Doug is selling his keyboard due to needing the money for other resources. If you are interested, we are listing a Korg Triton Pro and a Yamaha Motif 8. These are mint and low reserve as well. Please check my other auctions for additional information.

Good luck and this will be a fantastic Christmas addition to completing your music wish list.

Additional information:

One of the most popular digital synths ever was the DX7 from Yamaha, released in 1983. It featured a whole new type of synthesis called FM (Frequency Modulation). It certainly is not analog and it is difficult to program but can result in some excellent sounds! It is difficult because it is non-analog and thus, a whole new set of parameters are available for tweaking, many of which seemed counter-intuitive and unfamiliar. And programming had to be accomplished via membrane buttons, one data slider and a small LCD screen.

Still the sounds it shipped with and that many users did manage to create were more complex and unique than anything before it. Percussive and metallic but thick as analog at times, the DX-7 was known for generating unique sounds still popular to this day. The DX-7 was also a truly affordable programmable synth when it was first released. Almost every keyboardist bought one at the time making the DX-7 one of the best selling synths of all time! It also came with MIDI which was brand new at the time - Sequential had already released the first MIDI synth, the Prophet 600. Roland wouldn't get around to adding MIDI for another year with the Juno-106, and it would be three years before Roland can counter the popularity of the DX7 with a digital synth of their own, the D-50.
