The Steelphon synths were made in Italy in the early 70s – an S900 was used by David Bowie on the Berlin trilogy and he even used one on Italian TV (video of that is below).

Excellent condition and perfect working order.

Brokerage Sale Information:

This is a brokerage sale by Soundgas on behalf of the owner. The synth is not at Soundgas and we have not (sadly) had a chance to assess/play it ourselves. As such, we can offer no guarantee on this item beyond the 14 days you have to assess it. However, we only work in this way with trusted clients who really understand their gear. That said, it is the buyer’s responsibility to confirm details provided in the listing by the seller are to their satisfaction – if you have any questions at all please let us know before we arrange shipping.

As a brokerage sale, payment will be made to us but will be held in escrow for the seller until the buyer confirms satisfactory receipt of the item. The buyer has 14 days from receipt to raise any concerns, after which we will release funds to the seller. Full terms available on request.
