Yamaha DX5, BC1, ROMs, Cased / DX-5

Yamaha DX5 for sale.

More than two DX7s in one, and only a polyphonic aftertouch weighted keyboard and better display/interface short of a DX1 (OK, a few other things, but it was very much the affordable version of the Yamaha FM flagship when launched in 1985). The DX5 is surely the DX to own, if you can find a good one…

This one has come to us from the original owner. It’s used, but well cared for for sure; anyone who still has the original box for the breath controller loves their instruments!

Comes with:

• Two Voice ROM cartridges
• Performance ROM cartridge + Performance Notes
• BC1 Breath Controller in original pouch and packaging.
• Original Manual
• Heavy-duty pro flightcase
