The Story
This Yamaha SY-2 is in very good condition for its age and has been fully tested—everything works as expected. There are some minor scuffs across the unit and slight discolouration on the underside of the case base (paint marks), but nothing that affects performance or stands out in use. These cosmetic marks are consistent with its vintage status and decades of use. Included are the original Yamaha carry case and attachable legs, making it a complete unit for studio or stage.
A cult-classic from the 1970s, the SY-2 is a monophonic analog synthesizer with a pressure-sensitive keyboard offering expressive aftertouch—an uncommon feature in synths of its era. Its tonal palette includes preset sounds and manual override controls, with analog filtering and a unique built-in spring reverb. Ideal for keyboardists and collectors seeking a hands-on synth experience that blends vintage charm with iconic sonic character.
