I have Analogue Systems "French Connection" Ondes Martenot type
controller for sale.

Condition: Only little used at home. Mint (look below)
Purchased: 10. November 2006
Location: UK, Cornwall (look below)
Price: Euro 1100 + shipping
Reason for selling: I have found, that trombone is enough for me...

Price at MESI France is Euro 2250:

Actually the unit is located in Finland right now and is not working!. This is most likely due to faulty transformer, but you don't have worry about it: As soon as I hear about your serious *intention* to buy the instrument, I am going to send it to Analogue Systems to be checked and fixed at my expense. Only after they have confirmed everything is OK, should you do the payment (Euro 1100 plus shipping from UK). Then Analogue Systems will send the unit directly to you. This "plan" is meant to save shipping costs and to shorten storage time at Analogue Systems. It is for your confidence too.

SOS review:

This is me playing eyes closed and after not much practicing. Unlike Theremin, the French Connection is easy to play - better intonation is possible:

A scratch is seen in picture "FC_Left_side.jpg". I never noticed it until today.

Best regards

OK. I noticed that the MESI price for French Connection is not exactly a bargain: Price at Analogue Systems is only 1250 UK pounds including 17.5% VAT. Also, Euro is quite strong at the moment.

My new price is Euro 1100 plus shipping!

I'd like to ask you a couple of questions about what work will be done on it, whether you are 100% covering the charges of said work & how it could be shipped.

Hit me back when you have the chance,

Kent

I will cover all the possible charges except shipping from UK to the buyer. I don't know yet, what work will be done to the unit - propably it needs just a new transofmer.
